A Warrior Without Boundaries: Part #1 by Ovid Hernandez in memory of jorge carlos valdez Once upon a time, there was a young Dominican named Jorge Hernandez whose interest was always to play in the big leagues in the United States. His passion was born from his godfather, who always wanted him to be a baseball player, and he promised his godfather that one that he’d get to be a professional baseball player. Later, his godfather passed away from stomach cancer. His interest was always to help his family. That was his primordial goal until one day, the young guy couldn’t achieve his dreams because no one could see his potential, and that is when his family decided to take him out and send him to a military academy where they would be too rough with him and he wouldn’t do what his heart desired. He never forgot the promise he made to his godfather to become a professional baseball player. Everyday he remembered that promise he didn’t get to keep, and his godfather used to always say to remember him when he got to the big leagues. But he learned to live with this in his heart for the rest of his life, and he still lives with it in his heart. The author of this story is also a small warrior but with a big mind.
