In our public life, our day-to-day interactions and social media posts, we rarely share our true challenges, feelings and mistakes. Under the surface, each person has a unique story to tell and a set of experiences that we can all learn from. While we can’t fix the past, we can learn to be better by surrounding ourselves with people inspire us to be our best selves. Letters to my younger self provides a platform to release these experiences outside of our innermost circles, so that we can learn from each other.

50. Growing up Illegal with German Robles
German Robles learned from a young age to never reveal his true identity, never talk about where he came from and never tell anyone where he was born. When he crossed the border at age 5, he would say goodbye to everything and everyone he knew. Starting school in a new country, he didn't understand a word anyone said, and would go home crying. There was always a fear growing up that he would be deported back to Mexico. Without a social security number he was unable to fly, drive, work at most jobs or even get a fishing license. German explains the role that illegal immigrants play in helping our economy. Robles says, "We are not all impacted by the laws surrounding immigration but we all benefit from illegal labor."
