To love

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

"When I came to America, my lungs filled with the breath of freedom. I didn't know it was happening, but it was." Ismael Hernandez experienced the freedom to change his life, to experience rewards that he had earned through his own merit.


What he was studying at university included the Federalist Papers written by American founders. It explained his own experience to him - and hate turned into love.

Mr. Hernandez received a master's degree in political science, worked for a poverty-fighting organization, then founded the Freedom and Virtue Institute.

He says, "America has taught me that I am an individual person made in the image and likeness of God. I have rationality and will. I am my own man."
