Ramiro Mendieta Guerrero was born in Guanajuato, Mexico, where he attended school until the fourth grade. His family of twelve that includes his parents and nine  siblings, migrated to the United States when he was 10 years old, in search of a better life. Upon arrival, the family settled in Arrey, NM, and began working in the fields. This work made him realize the importance of education. Finances were always limited, but despite them Ramiro was focused on pursuing higher education. Though he struggled with the language barrier, he persevered and overcame this obstacle. With hard work and determination, he graduated high school in 2020 and was accepted to New  Mexico State University where he is working towards a Bachelor of Criminal Justice. Ramiro has always been motivated and focused on his goals, but now, as a father to 2-year-old Estevan, his motivation is greater.
