Hispanic Heritage Month: Sergio Romo


Sergio Romo, wife Chelsea, sons Rilen and Rex.

Sergio Romo is from a Mexican-American family in California. Brawley, to be exact, a small town in the desert side of San Diego County, about twenty miles north of the Mexican border. Sergio almost followed in his dad's footsteps and joined the Navy, but instead played baseball while attending junior colleges since he did not have a scholarship to a four year school. He eventually transferred to four year schools in Alabama and Colorado. In his senior year with Mesa State (Colorado), he was the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year.In 2009, the RMAC named Romo "All-Time Top Pitcher."

Closer, World Series 2012, last out.

He became a San Francisco Giant out of college, and has played in the World Series, making a significant contribution in 2012 as a closing pitcher. That means he pitches the final inning(s) when the team is ahead, keeps the lead and the win. He is very good at it.

During the parade in San Francisco to celebrate the World Series win in 2012, Sergio wore a notable tee shirt to emphasize his belief that all kids deserve a chance and to make a strike again stereotyping.

Making a statement during the World Series celebration in San Francisco, 2012.

This year Sergio was in the All Star game. He continues to support immigration reform so all kids can have a chance to be successful. California has a Dream Act, although the United States Congress has not passed any new bill to support one to this date.

Sergio is devoted to his family and in the following video he states:

“I’m first-generation Mexican-American. Both of my parents were born in Mexico. My dad always spoke of the American dream as a man hard working, earning his keep, being able to take care of his family in a respectful manner.”

Romo is standing proud with the Dream is Now Campaign

Sergio also says, "When I hear of a student being undocumented, I take it as kids going to school, they're just trying to learn and get better, so I don't find anything negative in that." He signs off with, "I"m Sergio Romo, pitcher of the world champion San Francisco Giants. Today I'm standing proud with the Dream is Now campaign, because I strongly believe that there should be a pathway for approximately 2 million undocumented students to earn their United States citizenship, so that they can lead a productive life and give back to the only country they know as home. They deserve a chance to live their dream, and we will all win if they do."

Sergio has also been invited to use his notoriety in ice cream.

If it were available around here, I'd buy it.

Synopsis

At a public school in Newark, N.J., the staff answers the phone by saying, "You've reached John F. Kennedy High School, Newark's best-kept secret." JFK provides an exceptional environment for students with special-education needs. In Best Kept Secret, Janet Mino, who has taught a class of young men for four years, is on an urgent mission. She races against the clock as graduation approaches for her severely autistic minority students. Once they graduate and leave the security of this nurturing place, their options for living independently will be few. Mino must help them find the means to support themselves before they "age out" of the system. (90 minutes)

Vincent's Welcome

Sunflowers, 1888, Vincent Van Gogh

Info from the British National Gallery:

This is one of four paintings of sunflowers dating from August and September 1888. Van Gogh intended to decorate Gauguin's room with these paintings in the so-called Yellow House that he rented in Arles in the South of France. He and Gauguin worked there together between October and December 1888.

Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in August 1888, 'I am hard at it, painting with the enthusiasm of a Marseillais eating bouillabaisse, which won't surprise you when you know that what I'm at is the painting of some sunflowers. If I carry out this idea there will be a dozen panels. So the whole thing will be a symphony in blue and yellow. I am working at it every morning from sunrise on, for the flowers fade so quickly. I am now on the fourth picture of sunflowers. This fourth one is a bunch of 14 flowers ... it gives a singular effect.'

The dying flowers are built up with thick brushstrokes (impasto). The impasto evokes the texture of the seed-heads. Van Gogh produced a replica of this painting in January 1889, and perhaps another one later in the year. The various versions and replicas remain much debated among Van Gogh scholars.

To see this painting in person is a remarkable experience; it has a presence, like a friend happy to see you.

Here is a lesser known poem by Poe; what a cry for help.

A Dream Within a Dream

By Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe

1809–1849

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow —

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand —

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep — while I weep!

O God! Can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?
