These experiences are important to note as research has statistically documented no differences between children raised by same-sex parents compared to children raised by heterosexual parents on measures of psychological well-being, cognitive abilities, and parent-child relationship (Tasker & Patterson, 2007). Most often, lesbian and gay parents and their children are suggested as…

Parents know where their college children are at…

My parents are Mexican immigrants with a long history of hardships before and after their migration to the U.S. Through their experiences, I learned that my ancestors and relatives are people that had a hard time finding motivation in moving forward when stuck in a dilemma. My parents, however, proved to be the relatives within their families to fight for what they believe and what they think they deserve.
