Episode Description
Meet a well-known blogger who came here as an immigrant and is living the American Dream to the fullest. Art Pedroza is this week's guest, and he is an inspiration. Not only was he brought here from Mexico as a small child by his parents, he learned English so fully that by the third grade he was winning school-wide spelling bees. He also learned quickly what it is to work hard by helping in his father's maintenance and janitorial business during his summers. And he was the first in his family to earn a college degree and an MBA. Art has taught at Cerritos College and become certified as an OSHA, 1st Aid, Hazardous Waste and Emergency Response Instructor. Art will also explain how he was a dedicated Republican for years until he saw how that party was treating immigrants and gays and dealing with the deficits. So he is now a Libertarian. Listen to his thoughtful blog at www.OCPoliticsBlog.com. Hear how Libertarians deal with COVID-19, education and obtain excellence in education.
