Critical Response:

My childhood was very different than my other friends; in fact, we would migrate to California each year for six months. Changing school’s every time as to making new friends each year came rather tiring at the end. My surroundings were different, which taught me the tough line of work. My parents work as farmers, they work making tomato sauce, and other vegetables that are use in fast restaurants. Seeing my parents work hard made me choose a different path, a better career for my future. I worked hard as I was getting older and i’m still working hard to give my kids a better future than mine. I Am proud to have the parents I have they have push me to become a better person. My life would not have been the same without my parents, the lessons I learned from them are what makes me proud of who I’am.
