3. My father came here in 1979 from Michoacán,
Mexico to have a better job opportunity so that
he could better support my mother and my
three older siblings that were still living over
there at the time. He came over here and knew
people who helped him get a job and guided
him until he finally became more stable.
4. My mother came here to the united states 10
years after my father. She came here after my
father was more stable, and they were finally
able to get a house. She arrived with my three
siblings to reunite with my father and to create
a better life for them here, where she knew they
would have more opportunity and a better life.
5. For my mother and father growing up was
hard. They both grew up n the same place, in
fact, they were actually neighbors. That is how
they met. Education was very expensive and
my mother only went to school until the 3rd
grade before she had to take on greater
responsibility. My father only went to 6th
because of how expensive it was, and he also
had to work and care for his family at a very
early age. School was almost impossible.

project. I am very excited for the next parts of
the assignment where I get to interview my
parents and learn all about their history and
reasoning for coming here the the United
States.
