Even though I don't know anything about how my family got to the U.S, I do know how hard it was for my great grandmother and her family to get used to L.A. Coming from the south Cali was foreign and scary. It makes me feel even more proud of them

My mother growing up was moving from Oceanside to L.A. to Oceanside to L.A. many times. It was hard for her to keep real friendships and relationships. Going through this is one of the reasons she choose to keep me enrolled in schools in Oceanside... so I could keep my friends. It was always hard to live hours away from school, but it was always better knowing that my mom supported me.
