Author Biography J. Roman Perez Varela was born and raised in the city of Salinas, California, better known as the "Salad Bowl of the World." As a first-generation Mexican American and a migrant student, he realized early in his childhood that he had two choices in life: either to work hard in school or work hard picking crops. Like most of his siblings, he did both in order to survive, and it allowed him to better understand the important role his father, a campesino, and his mother played in this country. His work ethic reflects his upbringing, and he is thankful that working under the sun and rain made him understand what his parents had to experience to provide a better life. Presently, Roman continues to live in Salinas with his wife and three children. As a Program Director at a Transitional Residence Program, he assists many campesinos struggling with homelessness. Roman hopes one day his children can understand the sacrifices many have experienced in order for them to live the life they live.Jose Ramirez is an artist.
