'It’s never too late even if you dream about something. You just have to hold that dream tight.” Immigrant mother, daughter graduate from same college, together.
Sandra Murillo arrived in the United States from Colombia with one suitcase, $1,000 and a goal to eventually be joined by her daughter to share the new life she would start.
"It’s never too late even if you dream about something. You just have to hold that dream tight,” Murillo told NBC News Friday. “I didn’t know English, so it took me two years to take English as a second language and when I started thinking like: ‘OK, when am I going to graduate from college?’ I got discouraged,” she said.
Mother and daughter were reunited in 2006 when Lopez-Murillo moved to New Jersey just before her 12th birthday. ”Unless I was sick, or something terrible was happening, I was going to school,” Lopez-Murillo said. “She told me if you don’t educate yourself, life is going to be so much harder for you.”
