Jorge Ramirez, Senior Staff Writer (12)
Jorge Ramirez, an aspiring entrepreneur with exorbitant dreams of obtaining an intercontinental business, won’t allow the odds against him to deter him a single bit. This boy inhaled his first gulp of oxygen on May 17, 1995; to this day, his parents knew he was going to be somebody in this cruel world. Jorge’s father said the only obstacle in his path was his kindness; he repeatedly berated him for being too virtuous, which his father considered an attribute of the inferior. Where he received this philanthropic trait is from his mother, who always ebbed an atmosphere of infinite love. She would aid the needy, comfort the grieving, and love her kin … which were a group of horrible people. There is a dark side to everyone; some make it more obvious, while others have it stored inside a titanium safe with bulky bodyguards carrying automatic assault rifles. Jorge’s dark side came from his bashful father; who engrained in him the traits of a man who could lead a crime syndicate.
