Meet Oscar De La Hoya, Born Today (in 1973, that is)
You might know him as "The Golden Boy," a nickname that stuck like glue after he won a gold medal at the '92 Olympics. But today, we're not here to talk about his boxing glory days. Nope, we're here to chat about you, because Oscar's birthday is the perfect excuse to dish out some inspiration!
Born in East Los Angeles, Oscar didn't have it easy. His dad was a construction worker, and his mom cleaned houses. But you know what they say, "Tough times don't last, tough people do." And Oscar? Well, he was tougher than a two-dollar steak.
