Birth
I was born in January 29, 1998 at 6 in the afternoon in Sinaloa, Mexico. I was raised by my dads parents when my dad came to the USA after that my mom followed. I have one brother, which is the youngest and one sister, she's 21. -
In the USA
I came to the US when I was 6 years old. All I remember was getting in a car with some family members and waking up with my mom, dad and brother. I've been here for almost 13 years. -
My First School
In the US I didn't go to preschool or kindergarten for that reason I was held back from 1st and 2nd grade. The elementary that I attended was Eisenhower Elementary. I went to two other elementary schools after that. Hermosa Vista and Whitman Elemenatry School. -
Graduation
I graduated 6th grade from Whitman Elementary School. 6th grade was one of my best years in school. I remember getting the principals award and two other trophies for my grades. Thats also where I met the friends I have today. -
First Phone
My first phone was an iPhone 5c. The only reason I got it was because of my sister and my brother in law. They're the ones that helped me pay my bill. Ever since then I've only iPhones, right now I own the iPhone 7. -
First Niece
When my first niece, Aylin, was born it was pouring outside. It was on the day that i head snow had fallen in mesa for the first time in a long time. My dad, brother and I were on the freeway on our way to the hospital when my mom called us saying that she was born already. It felt good knowing that I was an uncle. -
Dad Gone
This day was a very hard day for me and my family. I remember I was in school during 6th hour my sister texted me saying that they had got my dad. My dad was a drug dealer, he used to sell it and sometimes used to consume it. The SWAT team raided our house and they searched it all making a mess everywhere. They didn't get him at home, he was in the streets delivering some and they got him with some others. He got 6 years but they been reducing his time. -
Second Niece
When my sister had her second daughter, her husband was almost not going to be there. He was in jail that same night because of his dad. Me and her are the ones that went to go take him out and right after that she was going into labor. They took me with them and I spent the night at the hospital, I didn't get much sleep that day. -
Seeing my Dad
About 3 months ago I took my mom to go see my dad because she got approved to go see him already. We went all the way up to Florence, Globe. When she was done the prisoners went to the fence and I got to see my dad. -
Grandparents
My moms parents came to the US with a visa this past month. It had been more then 13 years without seeing them and I was glad that we got to see them. We took them to the snow because they had never seen snow in their lives, we went to Payson twice. They spent Christmas and New Years with us and its been a week since they left.
