His life

"Carlos, the second youngest of eight children, was a standout student at the village school. He was captain of the soccer team and excelled in playing instruments the school had bought by selling raffle tickets. 'He played percussion and the bombo and the lyre and the trumpet,' said Jose Morales Pereira, who was Carlos’ teacher. 'He always said, ‘Professor, let’s teach everyone else.’ He was my leader.'"

"Carlos told his teacher he might work along the way to pay his fees. He had a brother already in the U.S., and he planned to find a construction job."
