“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.

　　I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.

　　“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa.

　　All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?”

　　Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”
