JC Escarra: A Promise That Kept Him Going
When JC Escarra was a child in Cuba, he dreamed of playing baseball at the highest level. But the path wasn’t easy. After coming to the United States, he spent years grinding in the minor leagues, facing setbacks, injuries, and the constant uncertainty of whether his opportunity would ever come.
What kept him going? A promise.
“I promised my mom I would keep going.”
And he did. In May 2025, after years of hard work and perseverance, JC finally received the call that he was being promoted to the New York Yankees. In a moment that went viral, he called his mom and said, “We did it, Mom!”
JC’s story is a powerful reminder that a Growth Mindset is not about talent alone. It’s about the choice to keep learning, improving, and pushing forward—even when progress feels slow, and the outcome is uncertain.
He didn’t let setbacks define him. He believed effort mattered and stayed committed to his dream until it became a reality.
