Meant to Be

By Ed Okonowicz

We frantically started to run toward the road... All the guys were the first ones to make it to the car. I purposely stayed behind, keeping an eye on the ladies, particularly the one that was pregnant. She had looked tired most of the day and understandably so. It couldn't have been more than three hundred feet to get to the car. The only ones left to make it were her and me, and everyone else yelled out to me, 'Just leave her there or you're staying there too!' I just couldn't do it. I told myself I would rather get caught again than carry something like that on my conscience, so I picked her up and ran as fast as I possibly could. I had no strength left, but somehow that didn't matter. This is just one of the many attempts to begin a new life that author Rutino Lara trekked through. It would not be his last. Faced with a poverty-stricken existence in Mexico, Rutino took it upon himself to create a better life for his family, himself, and future family. To him, this meant escaping Mexico City to live a happier, healthier life in the USA. Compelled to overcome through danger, abuse, and corruption, his inspiring story doesn't go unnoticed. From his rock-solid faith in God, to his undying affection for his wife, this is a true rags to riches tale. Find out why Rutino Lara was Meant to Be.
