When I meet new people they always ask me “What is something special to you”, but I quite never know how to answer the question because not a lot of stuff are special to me, but the things that are usually mean a lot to me. I don 't actually tell people one of my special memories because it 's not something you tell people out of no where, because it 's not either good or bad, and people usually think “Something special should mean something good”.One of the things that are special to me is when I went to Mexico. One of the reasons that Mexico has a special place in my heart that will never leave is because when I was 5 years old my mom decided she wanted to visit Mexico, but she never told us that our dad lived there and that we were going …show more content…
When we finally got to our designated place my mom seemed nervous but we didn 't know why until my dad step out the door and was like “Hey Octavio and Ileidy I am yall”s dad” I wasn 't expecting that so I just stood there dumbfounded and kinda traumatised because my mom told us that when we I was born my dad had to leave because his mom was really sick. Then when I finally realized that my dad was in front of me and it wasn 't just a dream that I been wishing came true years ago, I ran and hugged him and without even realizing it the words “I love you” came out my mouth and I thought “ How can I love a person that I just meet even if his my dad?” my mom started crying because she thought she would of have been able to see him again. After my mom hugged him my brother step up and told him “ You have no idea how much I cried after you left I can never forget the words you told me “ I might not be able to come back”, those words could never come out my mind”. After I heard my brother tell that to my dad my hole view changed and I felt hate but I didn 't know why. The whole night I was thinking on what to do. The next morning I asked my dad “ Did you at least try to go visit us” and he said “I’ve been trying my whole life” after I heard that I felt a relief in my heart.

In “Mexican Views of the Mexican-American War discusses the origin of the war between Mexico and the United States, it states “To explain then in a few words the true origin of the war, it is to say that the insatiable ambition of the United States, favored by our weakness, caused it”, the weakness that it’s referring to is the Mexican government.
