http://www.ibiomagazine.org/issues/september-2011-issue.html
At age 19, Quiñones-Hinojosa jumped the fence from Mexico to become a farm worker in California. Thanks to his own determination, hard work and discipline and a lot of support from family and friends, he left farm work and completed university and medical school, ultimately becoming a highly successful physician-scientist and brain surgeon.
