It had been a little over 10 years since the last time I saw my family in Mexico. I was about two or three years old when I left Mexico and came to live in NC (say North Carolina the first time) . I was born at the Novant Health hospital, but a few months later my family moved back to Mexico. We later moved back to NC and after that I didn't see my family that lived over there, except through facetime, until two years ago when I went back.
I was 13 when I went to Mexico in the summer of 2015. I had mixed feelings when my parents told me I was going to see my family.

I learned some important life lessons like not taking what I have for granted and being grateful that I don't have to warm my water just to take a shower. I really enjoyed my time over there and hope that I can go back
