BEHIND THE SUCCESS

Sintia Solis a.k.a. "Your Abogada Sintia" was born in
Veracruz, Mexico, soon after she was born her par-
ents moved to Tamaulipas, Mexico, where the fami-
ly built a home and settled down.

Under the Immigration Act of 1990, Sintia's parents
decided to take the opportunity to permanently im-
migrate to the United States as a family. They were
full of fears not knowing how they would make it in
a foreign country. Especially because they did not
know the language or culture, yet they were hope-
ful and looking forward to the "American dream'" of
a better life for them and their children. Once in the
United States the family lived in a tiny one bedroom
apartment in a very low income area of Pasadena,
Texas. Sintia soon started kindergarten and did not
know a speck of English, she was in English as a
Second Language classes for some years until she
learned to speak, read and write English.

Thirteen years later, soon after high school, Sintia
was a single mother. Nevertheless, she decided to
start classes at a community college while working
a full time job. She made up her mind that regard-
less of her circumstances she was not going to let
her parents down after all their hard work and the
sacrifices they had made to leave their home coun-
try and immigrate to the United States to give her a
better life.

It was a long hard road for personal reasons, howev-
er, after much hard work and dedication Sintia grad-
uated from the University of Houston Clear Lake.
