My family is from Mexico. They lived in a poor place called Guerrero. My parents were still young when they came here to the United States. My parents came to the United States because they wanted a better life for them and us, their kids. My parents were very poor in Mexico. My mom lived with her 2 parents and her 8 siblings. She has 3 brothers and 5 sisters. My mom lived in a one room house. They all had to share beds. My grandma had more kids but they passed away when they were babies. My mom only went up to school till 6th grade. They all had to work everyday and cook. My dad lived with his parents and 4 siblings. My dad also was very poor. My dad had never gone to school.
