People that helped

Chente I believed was one the biggest helps that Luis Rodriguez received. He was the administrator of the Community Center. He gives Luis a job, he is the reason why Rodriguez returns to school and big part in him graduating.

Daniel Fuentes is another person who changes Rodriguez's life. He was at the center to sign up amateur boxers, he teaches Rodriguez that in didn't matter how tough you thought you were you need to think as well as have muscle.

Mrs. Baez- "the Home-School Coordinator" (p173) it seems like she was the person they could go to at school. When they felt they weren't being treated fairly because of their race Luis and other Mexican students went to her and even though she didn't want to fight like them and opposed their walk out, she was in their corners and agreed that they should be treated equally to the white students.
