The excitement of leaving the country with two of my favorite cousins took over and I accepted my uncle's invitation. At first I was afraid I would not like Mexico because the part of Mexico my family was from was not a popular city; it was actually a poor town with in a small city. The location was in the middle of Mexico named Guanajuato, there was where my first best life experience took place. When we first arrived to the small town, from which my mother’s side of the family had originated from; the time was 2:00 A.M. the morning was cold and the light from the sun was still absent.

    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.

I meet plenty of family members that I’ve only heard of, but never physically seen. Meeting my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. was amazing, but I was most excited about truly knowing how Mexico flows and how the lives differ to those in the United States.

    A. Autobiographical Statement My mother was the first and only person in her family to graduate from college, which has always been an inspiration to me. She was an abused wife on food stamps, raising two children on her own while my father was incarcerated.
