Alejandro Rodriguez III comes from a hard-working family who instilled education, loyalty, respect, and the importance to stand up for others. Growing up with English being a second language had its challenges and tribulations, especially when his parents were unable to help with schoolwork since they did not speak nor understand the language, but with perseverance, great teachers and hard-work, he succeeded.
