Mexico Memories

Improved Essays
The best, most beautiful memories that I have ever experienced were when I lived in Mexico for two years. Those two years were full of joy, love, and adventure. My mom sent me to live with my grandparents while she gathered money. It wasn't easy for my mom, but it needed to be done. I learned so much during the trip, so much that I was a different person when I came back from mexico.
The flight to Mexico was long and exhausting. I Remember arriving In the night it was a big airport. My aunts and cousins were waiting outside in a minivan. I didn't recognize anyone. “Hi alberto!” Everyone in the car shouted almost like I was person of high importance, or a celebrity. This was my first time in Mexico since I was 2 and It was a land I never met.

Sitting in church for 3 hours wasn't much fun but the incest and candles lit inside a dark church was beautiful. It was a sight one must see to understand the beauty and peace that it created. Easter isn't a holiday with celebration with bunnies and eggs rather more of quiet holiday with mourning.
After two years my mom had a home for me and her to live in and money so it was time for me to go home. I became accustomed to my life in Mexico, my family and my home,I would have to leave all that. Nothing was better than seeing my own mom who i haven't seen in so long.
This time I didn't go on a airplane but instead my uncle drove me to a near the border were my aunt and her husband drove me to were lived in Rockford Texas. There my mom was waiting for my arrival.
The moment we arrived I saw my mom I ran as fast and hugged her, I had a tremendous joy in my heart. I couldn’t believe that I actually was seeing my mom. She a distinctive smell her perfume that reminded me of my home with my mom. Every time I remember this moment away from my mom I remember that I have to appreciate every moment I have with my mom, or one day I might regret it. I learned that I also have to appreciate my family too I haven't seen them all in so long. The moral is appreciate what you have when you have it since not all things stay

    I woke up and I only had two hours of sleep, and my flight was leaving in two more hours. My head was pounding, I had a terrible headache and my throat was dry and in need of water, so I drank lots of Gatorade to avoid dehydration. My father picked me up at Renata’s house, and then we went to pick up my luggage and my aunts who were traveling back to the United States with me. Guasave had no airport so we had to go to Los Mochis; it was a thirty minutes drive and all I had in my mind was how much I would miss my family and friends, my mom cooking, my favorite places in Guasave such as Aroma café, the beach, the seafood, and the delicious restaurants.…

    I couldn’t accept the fact that I was moving to America. I felt like I was dreaming, or like I was part of a movie or something.
