My whole family is from Chihuahua, Mexico. My dad’s parents are still alive but his grandparents already passed away a long time ago. My mom’s parents and grandparents are still alive which is very amazing. There is a disease that goes around in my family which is diabetes. It runs in my mom’s side of the family. And I know that I could be at risk of getting it but I’m not scared.
I love my whole family moms and dads side. I love both sides of my family equally because that's all you have in life. And I know that if you are all not cool with your family and something happens who do you turn to? So that's why you have to be cool with your family so you can have someone to turn to.
And family genes are an important part of how your personality is. For example if there is a peach tree all the branches are going to be the same the leafs are all going to be the same and it's only going to have peaches it's not going to have peaches mango apples and other type of fruit and that’s how family genes kind of are. My family is not a rich family you can say. We are poor and really struggling because of the economic time. Or economy.
We send money whenever we can because I know that in México everything is way more expensive and stuff so we do what we can to help out. Like send them clothes that don't fit anymore shoes, money and food. For example my mom’s family was very poor. My mom was one of the unique and responsible ones because she helped my grandma clean the house and cook and also because she is the oldest from the girls. My mom liked studding and going to school but unfortunaly my grandpa didn't want my mom to go to school so my mom dropped out and started working en una maquila witch is a factory. She got papyed like 25 cents an hour. All her ciblings lived in the same house and had to help get money to buy food and clothing. Until my grandpa came to the U.S to work to make money to feed his family and my grandma was pregnant. My grandma had to do lots of things by herself. Since she lives on a hill she had to go to the river and wash clothes on rocks. She had to carry buckets of water up the hill go walking to the stores and walk back home and up the hill. She had to walk everywhere because they were too poor to afford a car.
My grandma had so much work she didn’t sleep until like 4 because people had tried to get in the house. She cooked cleaned and gave birth alone it was very hard for her. When my grandma was young she took sowing classes. And at home on her free time she made doll dresses and blankets. My grandma was a very sufisticated and strong woman. Sadly she only studied up to the fifth grade and couldn't get a carrer.But she would practically worked anywhere to get money to put food on the table. She worked cleaning a farm and took care of the farm. Until her kids grew up and all got married and moved out and almost all her kids came to the United States. Except for my anti. The smallest one of all. My uncle "the oldest one" got my grandparents papers so they could come and go to the United States.
