Nevertheless, I miss my father, my big brother, my friends, and the way of living in El Salvador. After gaining experience in life and working since I was…

During the civil war in the 1980s a lot of salvadorans migrated to the USA and other countries, But most people immigrated to USA. But how this has connection to gangs problems?

This is something that a lot of people in the United States have to deal with, myself included. I moved from El Salvador when I was nine years old.

My first year in school wasn’t as…
