Improved Essays
When I was younger, my mother, sister and I went to Mexico. My mom was planning to move back to Mexico and wanted to check things out first. At the time I was only a few months old.

People assume from my name that I come from a very traditional New Mexican family, but my parents are anything but traditional.…
