Overview

An inspiring memoir of determination, service, and the American Dream From the public housing projects of San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, to the corridors of the White House, Jacob Lozada, PhD, carved a path against all odds. This powerful memoir chronicles his remarkable journey of persistence and achievement-to the highest levels of American government. Lozada shares his compelling story with candor, revealing how the values of accountability and hard work instilled by his parents guided him through the challenges of military life and adapting to a new language and culture.

More than just a personal success story, this memoir delivers essential wisdom for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable barriers. Lozada demonstrates that opportunities aren't limited to the privileged few-they're available to everyone willing to pursue their goals with relentless determination and integrity. Puerto Rico to the White House is an authentic, inspiring account of an exceptional life dedicated to service, accomplishment, and belief. It stands as living proof that with persistence, even the most improbable dreams can become reality.
