Over lunch yesterday, I met Andres, our building Maintenance person at Plug and Play Tech Center. Andres has an interesting story. His brothers and two sisters are with him in the United States.
His other sister and parents are in El Salvador.
In 2001, Andres played for the El Salvador national soccer (football for us) team. He was a star, and on the news and in the newspapers. He was a recognizable celebrity throughout the country. Girls asked his parents for his autograph (I don't remember that happening to me too often). He left his stardom to come to the United States, where he'd always wanted to be. His sister works as a rocket scientist for NASA in Mountain View. His brother is a building contractor. Andres is married and lives in Menlo Park. His dream is to go to England and watch Manchester United play. If he can't do that, Real Madrid will do, he says. I hope his dream comes true.
