They had a bunch of cattle on their farm that they have to care for everyday. My mother decided to have me assist them with caring for their animals. Once I…

whole body tight around her tiny poor fellow. She could not let the snake squeeze Shasha to death. So she took a rod, lifted the window up and threw it toward the snake with all her strength. Then the snake quickly uncoiled its body. By then, her grandparents came rushing, hearing the sound and were terrified to see the handicapped and intimidated snake crawling in haste and looking for a place to hide. Its beastly act terrorized the poor rabbit. He was lying there trembling with his drooped…

When I was young, I spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s house. This was the place that my grandparents’ children and grandchildren gathered, because it felt like home to everyone.

The living room was fairly large, the walls a pale beige, and floors a light oak.…

There was a negative part of moving to California. I also had to leave my grandparents behind. Eventually we got sick of the crime so we moved back home because there was less crime and corruption in Tillamook. I also wanted to see my…

“Sofia, *Spanish*!” my abuelito called out to me in his heavy accent. “Okay, I got it!” I called over the thunderous noise of hearty laughter, children squealing, and another Joe Arroyo song. I squeezed between the numerous bodies that towered over my seven-year-old stature as I tried to reach the kitchen. My house wasn’t particularly big, but it always seemed to have an abundance of people in it; most speaking in a language which I only partially understood. When I stumbled into the kitchen, my…

They lived on Cypremort Point, an island off the coast of Southern Louisiana, which is a hub for many shrimpers and fisherman. Growing up I was always around the water. I spent many summers on my grandparents’ boat, the Capt. T-Neg. At any given time, they could be on the water for a week or more, surrounded by nothing but shrimp and other animals that live in the Gulf of Mexico. The smell of salt and shrimp, which at first is sickening, lingers for…
