What comes to mind when you hear the word “Immigrant”? Do you think of people who are living in the shadows? People who are working for less than minimum wage on the fields in scorching heat just to provide for their families? Maybe you think of people who are “stealing” jobs, who don’t belong in the United States. Whatever your opinion may be, one undeniable fact is that immigrants are here in the United States. I am one of them, and I am here to stay.
I was born in Guanajuato, Mexico. My parents had me when they were both around the age of 17. As they struggled to provide for me, my father came to the United States when I was about two and a half. My mother quickly followed when I was three. I stayed with my grandmother for about a year.
