I have never known how my grandfather did not help with my grandmother with anything around the house, so she decided to leave the Country of Mexico and go to the United States. My mother never went with her mom because she didn 't wanted to leave her dad , but she also doesn 't want her to leave her mom, so she decided to stay until the age of fifteen. When she finally moves to the United States, she went to go live with her mom in Houston, Texas. …show more content…

I feel like some people look down on First Generation students and others think that it is very cool.…

    My mom came to the United States at the age of nineteen and she does not really talk about her experience of getting here. Nor does she talk about what she did when she finally got to the U.S. I have never asked her about her own experience, but from prior experience about asking her about other parts of her life I know she will not be open about it. After finishing the book I automatically started to wonder who and what my parents left behind in Mexico. Obviously they left their…

    My mother and I did not share a typical mother/daughter relationship. There was a time when we would not even speak and years would pass before I would even see her again. However, I would always see her when I looked into the mirror, since I looked just like her. I would hear her laugh because our laughs were identical, and small details we shared would remind me of the relationship I was missing, the relationship I felt everyone took advantage of. During my senior year all hope of a possible reconciliation would be lost.…
