Rosario Marin
Rosario Marin (born April 4, 1958) was the 41st Treasurer of the United States from August 16, 2001, to June 30, 2003, serving under President George W. Bush. She is the first person since William Clark to assume the post without having been born a United States citizen. She is the only U.S. Treasurer ever born outside U.S. borders and is, therefore, often referred to as the only foreign-born Treasurer of the United States.
==Early life==
Marin was born Rosario Spindola in Mexico City, Mexico. Her father Mariano, a worker in a label-making factory in California, brought his family to the United States in 1972 on visas provided by his employer.〔Richard Marosi, ("Marin Draws a Contrast to Past GOP Candidates," ) ''Los Angeles Times'' (February 25, 2004).〕〔Lisa Friedman, ("Ex-treasurer mulls running for Senate," ) ''Pasadena Star-News'' (May 26, 2003). Via ''WRNHA.org''.〕 The move was initially resisted by Marin due to her upcoming ''quinceañera'' and her fear of leaving behind her customs and traditions.〔Candace LaBalle, ("Rosario Marin: U.S. Treasurer - From Illiterate Immigrant to Honor Student," ) ''Contemporary Hispanic Biographies, Vol. II'' (2003): 1.〕〔Charles Dew and David Everett, ("Rosario Marin: filling the bill from advocate to treasurer;...," ) ''Latino Leaders'' (December 1, 2003). Via ''Highbeam Research'', July 26, 2009.〕 Marin's family settled in Huntington Park, California where her father obtained work as a janitor and her mother as a seamstress.〔George Skelton, ("Rosario Marin: a Republican to Put Democrats Off Balance," ) ''Los Angeles Times'' (February 16, 2004).〕〔The American Program Bureau, ("Rosario Marin, Former US Treasurer," ) (profile) ''APBSpeakers.com''. Accessed on July 26, 2009.〕 They returned briefly to their old home in Mexico to celebrate a "small fiesta" in her honor.〔Audrey Fischer, ("She's on the Money," ) ''The Library of Congress'' (November 2002).〕
Her poor command of English was another reason that Marin had resisted coming to the U.S. In high school, she was given an IQ test on which she scored a 27 out of 100 and was subsequently labelled as mentally disabled. This low score inspired Marin to work hard to learn the language which she accomplished in part by listening to songs on the radio and repeating the words. By 1976, she was in the top 20 out of a class of 500 and graduated with honors.〔〔〔("From An IQ Of 27 To U.S. Treasurer; 1 Person's Insights," ) ''Credit Union Journal'' (September 9, 2002). Via ''Highbeam Research'', July 26, 2009.〕
Marin's family had initially wanted her to forgo any further education and get a job in order to help out the family financially as well as help her mother care for her siblings. Marin compromised by working during the day and attending East Los Angeles College at night. After graduating in 1980, she continued to take night classes at the Los Angeles campus of the California State University (CSULA). Marin graduated from CSULA in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.〔〔Richard Marosi, ("Choice for Treasurer Was Minted in Mexico," ) ''Los Angeles Times'' May 13, 2001).〕
