My parents were very young when they had me and when they moved to the U.S. They didn't own a house yet. We lived in an apartment with 3 other families. The line to go to the bathroom was always long. I remember being 3 or 4 and having too many accidents because of it... I remember taking the bus and walking to school because we didn't have a car for a while. My dad entered work at 5am and worked until midnight. He got paid $5 an hour. My parents argued over money sometimes. Life wasn't overly difficult for us but it was different than what it is right now. It's just weird that my siblings don't know that other life our family had. My siblings NEVER had to experience our old way of life. I wish they did, it builds character lmao.
Now I have to work hard to make my parents proud and give them experiences they never had. Oh and I am forever the family translator (but I am slowly forgetting my first language and it sucks).
#this country and this city in particular#has been good to us#i wish everyone had access to these opportunities#it was just a combination of hard work and alot of luck#and now i can pay them back a tiny bit by having them experience europe with me#well. just my mom. cuz my dad was too scared. and he doesnt like italian food lmao#only my sister is going. my brother didnt want to go!#that ok. it will be so fun. ive never been on a plane before. never left his continent or been to another state#except over the border to mexico#also i hate when i go to mexico and they use the weirdest slang... like broooo?? que dices????#no but this country has grabted us a way to a better life. we are not rich. i still live with my family lol :( but we are comfortable#granted#***at the same time: i know things in the u.s could be alot better!!!#also. my peers are sooo individualistic. they dont consider their family when making major decisions which is very wild to me#not a bad thing! we just have different cultures and upbringings#... also sad abt the fact that my cousins are having kids and the kids dont speak spanish 🥲
