Luís Vergara Nevarez, 19, from Puerto Rico was left by his mom when he was 6 months old. He has been living in more than a 100 foster homes in the ghetto areas in Puerto Rico and by the age of 13 he took care of himself by working illegally. When he was 18 years old he found his mom, who lived in Bowling Green and came to live with her. It has not been easy as he doesn't understand why she left him. "It's difficult as she can't explain why. I try not to blame her and be happy that I'm with her now,” he said. In the States Luís started high school and wanted to get an education. After a fight with his mom she called the police and sent him to jail for 31 days to teach him a lesson. She said she was scared of him hurting her, when he got upset. That meant that he had to drop out of school and now he has to go to school at night and work to earn money. "I just want to be somebody and have success," he says.
