Dreaming of Harvard: A Novelistic Tale is a poignant story of a Mexican American who dreamed of attending Harvard. Searching for the staircase of social mobility, Ernesto Escobedo focused on obtaining a college education. Born in Aztlán, the land of his forefathers, he grew up in Mexican Canyon, a culturally rich barrio. He has never forgotten his humble origins. He was a bright student who was drawn to a world of ideas. But life in a small copper mining town made him come to terms that his dream of attending Harvard might never come to pass. Ernesto Escobedo was a math professor for thirty years. As a MEChA advisor, he enjoyed mentoring students. He would always tell them, "Chart your own destiny and never give up, ¡Sí se puede!" Having earned a master's and doctorate from Harvard University, he works as a Harvard admissions consultant. While Dreaming of Harvard: A Novelistic Tale has a scholarly aura, nevertheless, it is an inspirational story. His life odyssey is truly remarkable. Readers will come to appreciate how dreams come true.
