His mom, dad, older brother Roberto, and younger brother all traveled by train to Mexicali. They illegally crossed the border in hopes of becoming laborers. ]]> 2016-10-04 00:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128036955 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128037307 -His family for the most part lived in a tent. At times it was a cabin and once it was an actual house.
-While growing up, he constantly moved around from Santa Maria, Corcoran, Fresno, and more to pick either strawberries, cotton, or grapes (depending on the season).]]> 2016-10-04 00:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128037307 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128038013 He would always start school halfway through the year because he had to work on the fields during certain harvest times. He went to many schools and made a few friends here and there only to leave them anyway for the next place his family had to move to. Most of his teachers were very accepting and they helped him with his English skills.]]> 2016-10-04 01:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128038013 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128038424 -He tried to prove to his family multiple times that he could be of help in the fields and could therefore have his own picking sack.
-While growing up, his family grew from four members to ten.
-His mother and father were very hard working, which rubbed off on all of their kids. ]]> 2016-10-04 01:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128038424 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128038996 -Francisco was a high scoring student in math and insisted on learning English to the best of his ability.
-One day during school, he prepared to say the Decloration of Independence in front of the class. Right as he was getting ready to perform it, border patrol walked in for him and took him out of the classroom.]]> 2016-10-04 01:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128038996 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128039406 -The butterfly was a symbol of hope throughout the book.
-On his first day at his first school, he had a rough time understanding any English, but enjoyed looking at a caterpillar making a cacoon.
-He was later given an award for a butterfly picture he had drawn and at the same time the previous caterpillar blossomed into a butterfly.
-He gave his picture to a bully named Carl, and it is later known that Carl had given him a penny for his penny collection.
-While one of his infant brothers was on the brink of death, he had a dream where Santo Ninõ gave him a basket of white butterflies. His brother recovered slowly after the dream.]]> 2016-10-04 01:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128039406 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042263 2016-10-04 01:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042263 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042348 2016-10-04 01:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042348 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042428 2016-10-04 01:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042428 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042507 2016-10-04 01:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042507 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042595 2016-10-04 01:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042595 jpadgett https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042752 2016-10-04 01:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jpadgett/10bqeaqvpwcq/wish/128042752
