My dad was 14, so around my age when he was offered by one of his uncles to go up north to work since they knew my dad wasn't into studying and going to school. My grandma refused to let him go alone, especially at such a young age. But he left anyway. Since it was so easy to come here back then he just walked the bridge on the border.

My mother is the oldest out of her 6 siblings, her dad lived here in the states and would send money to their family monthly, but unfortunately, that was barely enough to raise so many kids. So one by one they decided to come here, in hopes of a better future for themselves. a few of my aunts and uncles were here before it was my mom's turn to come, by a coyote.

I think that there were many struggles when coming here, but I believe a main one was coming here and starting a completely new life, where the cultures and languages are different. Spanish is their second language, since they spoke dialects in their towns. So, they had to learn spanish and little by little they also had to learn English too.

Around 2000, apparently from what my dad remembers people around him were saying it's going to be the end of the story soon, everyone starting to freak out and leave to stay with their families. My dad was alone in the us so yeah. During 9/11 he woke up to his friend yelling the twins towers fell, he didn't even know anything about the towers for him to care so he went back to sleep and that's it. My mom's birthday was on 9/11 and she was out with her friends that day.
