Are you thinking about pursuing higher education or a career? Do you wish someone would give you a road map to help with your questions, doubts, and fears? In Camino Forward, Miguel Romano, Jr., collects the experiences of community leaders who overcame financial, educational, and cultural challenges to lead inspirational lives and careers. The life stories of diverse leaders shared in this book provide examples of how to:

--Discover who you are, what your passions are, and ways to turn that knowledge into a career

--Harness family sacrifices and expectations as motivation

--Take pride in your background and differences while utilizing them to find new avenues of possibility

--Find the courage and self-confidence to make difficult decisions

--Prepare yourself to pursue opportunities

--Give back to the families and communities that shape your journey

Anyone planning their future (or helping someone plan theirs) will find valuable insight and perspective from the journeys of role models who once struggled with the same uncertainties that come with taking the next step forward.
