Juan

I am an immigrant from Venezuela, where I was born and raised alongside my parents and older brother in a modest home, facing several economic challenges. However, with humility and determination, I was able to graduate and start working at a company that offered me incredible opportunities to grow. Through hard work and dedication, I earned a managerial position and was even awarded worldwide company recognition.

I devoted 18 years of my life to that company, but everything changed when my wife and I made the life-changing decision to immigrate to this beautiful country. The insecurity and uncertainty we faced in Venezuela pushed us to seek a safer and brighter future.

We arrived in the United States in 2016, facing some of the toughest situations just to survive and move forward. Without speaking the language and with many limitations, we had to work harder than ever. Through discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance, we were able to open a small indoor playground in Benton County, Arkansas—a dream that once seemed impossible when we first arrived.

This achievement is proof that, despite adversity, consistent effort and discipline can change your destiny. Today, we want to be an example for our family and community, showing that with hard work, anything is possible.
