“… a pod of dolphins come swimming by and these 10 surfers who are all men except for my girlfriend I, are just stunned and still and looking out at these beautiful dolphins and it was just this moment of, “This is amazing!” and it was the moment where I realized, I had a flash of, every door that had possibly opened to allow me to be in that moment and it was a moment of feeling grateful,… that this little Mexican girl  can look back at her family line and remember that her mother was told that she was “a dirty Mexican”…  The life of struggle was over…”
