Jocelyn Rivas is set to officially become the youngest person—female or male—to run 100 marathons.
, she thought her time in the United States was coming to a close. She feared she would lose her job, have to drop out of college and potentially be deported.
"I was in such a down point in my life where I was just like, 'I cannot believe like I'm letting someone else control my future. I can't let this happen. This is not me,'" Rivas said. "Whenever I was struggling, I would think about my mission and be like, 'you're not doing this for yourself anymore. You're doing it to inspire your community and to inspire other people,'" said Rivas.
She hopes people watching her run see that"this person who's a Dreamer, who just has all odds against her, is still showing up and trying to accomplish those dreams," Rivas said.
