Breaking Through by Francisco Jimenez
Breaking Through is an autobiography by Francisco Jimenez, a Mexican immigrant working to support his family. Even when things take a bad turn, Francisco learns important lessons, such as keeping a positive attitude and pushing the boundaries and expectations of other people to show what he can do—much like the title, breaking through to do his best! I would recommend this book to anyone. This autobiography is uplifting, inspiring, and makes you want to go out to do things to make the world a better place.

  1. I wanna read this book because I know the feeling that he feels. I'm also an immigrant like him. It's really hard to adjust and get used to a new place especially when your not with your family. This is an inspiring story for me.
