Alex Rodriguez’s success never came with ease. The former Yankees star had to take the rough path to lead a glorious life. While he achieved a lot of fame and broke boundaries, his journey to live the dream was pretty tough. Yet, from a child with big dreams to a successful businessman, A-Rod has done it all.
Rodriguez came to the United States from the Dominican Republic when he was just 10. His mother, Lourdes, raised him single-handedly in Miami. A-Rod has unforgettable memories with his mother, but one particular moment lingers on like a bunch of fresh lilies.
During an interview with the Operation Hope non-profit organization, A-Rod opened up on his tough childhood memory and hard-learned lessons.
“Sometime when I was around 12 years old, we’re at the local supermarket, and the bill was about $75, and I’ll never forget this. I remember this like it was yesterday. The bill was around $75. She reaches in her purse, she pulls out 55 bucks, and then she goes into another pocket. And to this day, I call it funny money. I remember asking my mom, I said, ‘Mom, what is that? That’s like Monopoly money. She looked down with a lot of shame and said, ‘You know, little Alex, this month the government’s helping us a little bit,” Alex Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez was the youngest in his family, but that day, he realized he must become the leader and be financially stable. A-Rod realized the challenging path ahead and learned that the American dream was not about wealth and success but grit and not giving up.
