When I Went To Mexico

When I went to Mexico last summer I learned to appreciate what I have more and be grateful I always get what I want. My siblings and I happen to always complain and get furious when we don’t get something or don’t get our way, but little do we know what we are doing is wrong. My parents always tell us that we shouldn’t react like that at all some people have it way worse and don’t have anything at all especially the people in Mexico. One of the reason they say that is because my parents are from Mexico and the reason they came to the United states was for a better chance and life. I finally realized it when I went to Mexico last summer it showed me to be grateful to god and my family that I have what I have.

I still remember everything

    Hilda Solis A Role Model

    My parents came to America from Argentina, fleeing collapse and insecurity. They came here to provide a better life for me, one which simply couldn’t be found in Argentina, and I’m more than thankful I was born here. To immigrate in search of a better life for one’s children is a praiseworthy act of devotion, of love. Millions of young Latinos live in this country today because their parents or grandparents made the decision to immigrate in search of a better life. Far too often, what they and their children found instead was only poverty, bigotry, and hardship—oft-insurmountable obstacles.…

    Personal Narrative: My Family Migration To The United States

    My Family immigrated to the United States when I was just two years old. Growing up in an unknown place surrounded by a foreign language was difficult to say the least, if not for me then for my hardworking parents. This may have not been the most convenient of circumstances being raised in total isolation with no family, but it transformed me into the woman I am today. From this I have been able to appreciate my surroundings more, knowing the things people take for granted in the United States are privileges in other countries. Drivers complain about potholes in the roads, where i think of them as lucky to even have roads.…

    Personal Narrative: Adapting To Cuba

    The booming voice called out for my little family of four to board our plane, a plane that would take us to the depths of a mysterious alien world. Or at least that’s what little six-year-old me thought when I left my home country of Cuba to come to the United States. That was a time of emotional turmoil for me, feeling the pain of leaving everything and everyone I knew behind. There was the excitement and fear of coming to a new unknown place, but there was also a feeling of dread at this vast language barrier that I was facing, and finally accepting and adapting to this new life. Coming from Cuba was a difficult experience that helped me grow and learn.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving Away From North Carolina

    Moving here from North Carolina when I was four changed my life completely, I was away from my family who I lived with my whole life, thrown into a school with a bunch of kids who lived here since they were born and told to “make friends.” This changed the next 13 years of my life to something I can never picture not having. The first four years, both my parents had full time jobs and my grandma helped raise me a lot, she taught me so many manners and how to behave, she even ended up living across the street from me for 2 of those years, they were rough for my parents, new baby, just moving, having to find jobs, making friends, and getting food on the table for me. Thats where my amazing family came in, with bringing home cooked meals…

    Single Immigration Narrative

    I was born in Africa and moved to America at the age of two. Little did I know that that single move would cause my life to meet the people I would meet and the opportunities that I would encounter. Once I came to America, my family and I moved to New Mexico so my father could complete his Ph.D. in mathematics. There two of my three younger brothers were born but New Mexico was only my backstory.

    Personal Narrative: Everything Happens For A Reason

    Everything happens for a reason I lived my whole life in Mexico a place where you can meet good friends and, most of them people don’t have nothing not even a dime on them, but they are very humble. I won’t deny that Mexico is also a country where there is so much evil where even walking down the street you can feel yourself unprotected from their own people and the government itself, but nevertheless Mexico is like a playground where you can spend all your time having fun. To succeed in Mexico is very difficult because it firmly depends on two things, time and place, if you don’t have at least one of them your probabilities of success are low. My conflict arises when I had to choose between a better life which was coming to the US and what at the time was my current which was pretty much my whole life, friends, education, etcetera. “Everything happens for a reason” my dad always says, so in order to be successful I had to face the adversities of life and see whether if my current life was better for me or the future life that was waiting for me somewhere else.…

    Personal Narrative: The True Meaning Of A Hispanic Family

    Being Hispanic carries so much more meaning than being just another race, it is a lifestyle. It's making delicious tamales with my entire family every year for Christmas festivities. It's the unexpected frijoles inside that butter container in the fridge. It's all your aunts repeatedly telling you that you look fat, yet they’ll keep serving you more food because they care about you. It's that fear when you hear a knock on the door because it’s probably one of your various relatives with their entire family.…

    My Mexican Background

    Being a Mexican-American and a child of illegal immigrants has allowed me to have a perspective on life to differ from some of my peers. My Mexican background has brought much diversity and openness to other cultures and beliefs. Being born in the U.S has provided me with countless opportunities and has greatly increased my patriotism for such a special country. Both of these background qualities, made me face much discrimination and only inspired me to seek full equality without discrimination. The aim of balance and peace has influenced me to help those around me.…

Things I didn’t even know I learned and knowing my culture In more detail has made me have much more respect to where I came from.
