Unfortunately my parents went back to mexico in 2008 for personal reasons when I was only 6 months old we lived there for 12 years but after that me and my sisters came back to the U.S. now in a legal way, now my middle sister and I are living together while my older sister is living with her husband in Kawai. ]]> 2022-11-28 17:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2400657837 What were the obstacles that they met? 10482681 https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2400661864 Some of the obstacles my family had to face while coming to the U.S. was the fact that they were illegals and they had to cross the border without any kind of papers that proved that they were from here. 
At that time it was more easy to be illegal you could find a job without being a citizen. ]]> 2022-11-28 17:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2400661864 What was going on Historically in the U.S during this time and did affect your family? 10482681 https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2400664880 Some things that were happening in the year of 1997 that was the year when my parents arrived at U.S. are this: ThrustSSC sets the first supersonic land speed record, Steve Jobs returns to run Apple Computers, Hong Kong returns to Chinese rule, Heavens Gate Cult Commits Mass Suicides in California, Diana Princess of Wales dies in a car crash in Paris.
These events did not affect my family in any particular way, my family still came to U.S. in the year of 1997 and left U.S. in  the year 2008. ]]> 2022-11-28 17:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2400664880 Picture of my family when they arrived in the U.S. three years later. 10482681 https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2401240789 2022-11-29 02:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2401240789 Picture of my Parents after they left U.S. 10482681 https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2406254475 2022-12-02 06:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/10482681/xndvykimdjsuctu8/wish/2406254475
