I find it sad when I hear people say, “I’ll never go to a high school reunion…I hated high school!” I always look at them and say, “I’m so sorry for you, too bad you didn’t go with me to Galena Park High School.” I loved my years in high school. Those friends and...

My soul knows
My brother, Ronaldo Julian Campos, lived for only five days and was born six years before me. My family never talked about him. I always wanted to know about him and as a young adult when I pressed my parents about him my dad raised his voice and shut me...
