His father could not work anymore because of severe back problems, so they would no longer move from place to place. Throughout high school, Jiménez and his older brother, Roberto, worked as janitors to support their family.[6][7] After high school, Jiménez went on to attend Santa Clara University, getting his B.A. in Spanish in 1966.[5][4] He became a US Citizen during his junior year at Santa Clara.[8] Then, he went to Columbia University to get his Master's and Ph.D. in Latin American Literature.[5][9][10] At Santa Clara University, Jiménez met his to-be wife, Laura Facchini, and they got married while he was attending Columbia University. They have three children: Francisco, Miguel, and Tomás.[11] Tomás Jimenez is (in 2018) associate professor in sociology at Stanford University.[12] CareerJiménez started his career as a professor teaching at Columbia University.[8] He later accepted a position teaching in the Department of Modern Languages and Literature at Santa Clara University, where he worked full-time until 2015.[8][7][10] He has received numerous awards for his teaching, including the Dia del Maestro Teacher of the Year Award from Santa Clara County, the David Logathetti Award for Teaching in Excellence from Santa Clara University, and the US Professor of the Year from CASE and the Carnegie Foundation.[8] In 1997, Jiménez published his first autobiographical short novel, Stories from the Life of a Migrant Child (Cajas de Carton in the Spanish version).[8][13] This book documents his early life, from crossing the border as a child to attending elementary school and working in the fields.[13] There are three sequels to this book, which continue documenting his life through its next few stages. Breaking Through (Senderos Fronterizos) is about his time in high school, Reaching Out (Más Allá de Mí) is about his time attending Santa Clara University, and Taking Hold: From Migrant Childhood to Columbia University documents his years in graduate school.[14][7] Jiménez has also written some autobiographical picture books, including La Mariposa (1998) and The Christmas Gift/El regalo de Navidad (2000). In La Mariposa, Jiménez writes about the challenges of not speaking English during his year in first grade.[9][13] Some awards he has received for his writing include the Americas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature, the Boston Global Award for Fiction, the Tomás Rivera Mexican American Book Award, and the Parents' Choice Award.[14][9] Selected works
