4. Fourth Wave of Immigration
o Our family came at a very young age
o Like most Mexicans our family came through the desert
o Walking days without any food or water

5. Education
 Our families didn't have a good education. Since are parents came from Mexico it
was very hard to pay for education and they couldn't afford it so they had to quit
school at a very young age so they can work and help their families.

6. Push Factors
 Better employment opportunities
 Better living conditions
 Better education
 Higher wages

7. Primary Sector
 The main reason why our families decided to come to the U.S. was because there
was a lot of jobs that involved farming that paid higher wages than in Mexico.

8. Festive December
 There are many celebrations during the month of December such as posadas, El
Dia de la Virgen, y La llegada de Niño Dios.
