My grandpa moved again from Missouri back to Chicago since he finally found a stable job as a quality control engineer. This then led him to purchasing a house in a South Chicago Suburb.

My grandpa lost his house in 2019 as he was no longer to afford the mortgage. He lived in Bolingbrook from 2012-2019, he was able to live on his own, he was financially stable. Until his mortgage continually beamed over the years. My grandpa knew himself he was getting old, and that getting a second job would be to much, especially for his age. So, he moved. The mortgage was rising so much to the point where it was hard to live stabile in terms of balancing pay checks with necessities. Food, personal needs, etc. He said, "If this continues, how will anyone be able to live?".

My grandpa believes everybody deserves the opportunity to better their life for not only themselves, but their families as well. But, he also believes they shouldn't 100% expect help, or 'hand-outs'. As well as the people who are abusing the help they're receiving, or robbing, actively breaking the law, and much more.

My Grandpa heard about this 'war' during the time it was happening, but he didn't really believe in it as it wasn't happening where he was from. He said, "If I don't see it, I don't believe it".

My grandpa lost his job at the warehouse, in which he started working in a carpet company. There was many people that were laid off, and were unemployed in a result. My grandpa was already separated from my grandma at this point, so he decided to move to St. Louis until he was financially stable (able to find a job, save, etc.).

My Grandpa at the time was unemployed, at home when he received a call from his friend urgently telling him to turn on the tv. He was frightened as he heard that Chicago would be hit. Our family at the time wasn't really affected in any way directly, but it was talked about for a long time. And there was fear that at any moment America was able to be attacked again.

I don't know a lot about my grandparents relationship, but when my grandma was pregnant with my mom, my grandpa was on the 6 month contract plan with a company, deciding whether or not they would move.

During this time when he met my grandma a lot happened. My grandma had a friend who worked at a warehouse. Essentially, word led that my grandpa was lookin for better work, and this is when a friend of a friend referred my grsandpa to the warehouse job. Within the spam of 2 years, grandpa went from a regular warehouse worker, to quality control engineering. The job was offered to him because he was billingual by then.

With the help of friends/family, my grandpa was able to find a pretty good job in which he was given the opportunity for better pay, and more benefits. Although, he had to move to New Jersey. They gave him a trial, in which he signed a contract to live there for 6 month's to 'try it out' until he fully committed. Ultimately, he went back to Chicago as he didn't adapt well in New Jersey.

Moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1985 by himself. Our family was already starting to migrate to the U.S for better opportunity as Ronald Reagan was issuing visas at the time. I wouldn't say that my Grandpa struggled 'on his own', as he had friends/family that were able to help him financially, housing, and finding work (starting his career).

People in San Carlos during the mid 60's would receive their news through radios, and tiny tv's. My Grandpa would get most of the news at school, where the teachers would tell the students important information.

Adrian Juarez(62), born(1963)in San Carlos, Puebla. Growing up with many friends, a lot of dirt, games. Was then given access to primary, secondary, and preparatory, although, didn't finish. But he was later able to receive a certification (sort of like a GED). San Carlos has no local college after preparatory school, but he was able to take classes introducing careers in which someone is interested in. In my Grandpas case, architecture.
