She followed her father, who had been working three jobs to save for her, her mother, and her sister Celina Mitzi\u0027s journey to the United States. Her first attempt to cross the border was unsuccessful, but on the second attempt, despite challenges including a river crossing, she succeeded. In Arizona, she waited a week for funds from her father, then traveled for 20 days to reach her new home in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In the United States, Rubi worked various jobs, initially earning $4.20 an hour, and learned English while working at a window factory. She continued working multiple jobs for years until she began her career at the Cheesecake Factory as a baker. With time and persistence, she advanced to roles that include food running, serving, bartending, and eventually the managing position. Rubi is now the manager of the restaurant Bahr\u0027s Landing, with a successful career and proficiency in English. She achieved this for the hope of giving her two sons, Kevin and Joshua, a better life.", "Recorded on December 14th, 2023 in Edison, New Jersey.", "To preserve the authenticity of the transcript, Rubi\u0027s words have been transcribed exactly as spoken.
