“This humbling recognition is totally overwhelming, and I was taken aback. In spite of my humble upbringing, I have been fortunate in so many ways and thus I have spent my adult life finding ways to give back as the least I can do to help others,” said Vargas. He added, “I have to thank my family throughout my life for their support and encouragement and thank God for the many blessing in my life. I commit to continue to do my best to live up to this award and make a positive impact in the community.” Click on the following link to view Vargas’ remarks at the event – https://youtu.be/KgE6879qzXM
