Sorry

My life has been a challenge. Having to deal with a lot growing up was really difficult for me. you may not know me but i was born & raised in Mexico at the age of 2. My parents made a lifetime decision to move here from Mexico. I really didn’t know much but knew that I was going to have another opportunity to learn and have the ability to be here. I know that not many people have the opportunity but god had different plans. It’s been hard having to start a new life and having to learn a new language. I was bullied growing up. I wasn’t like the other kids over the years. I was always told that I was different from other people. Growing up as the first born was hard having to go through so much as the first generation. I grew up independent, having to do things on my own. There will always be something my mom always tells me, “ la vida es difícil pero siga adelante ” Those words marked me from the moment I started to give up on everything. I really didn’t know much but to keep on going. Until i started high school that’s when it hit the most being the first generation to graduate with migrant parents was a challenge for me if i were to be honest i’m not the smartest person when it comes to testing or any other exams but i have to try my hardest to move forward to help proved for my family. As a kid i would always see my family working 24/7 not having to see them much because of their jobs, I had to help raise my siblings having to be there providing for them. I felt really lonely at home where i started to hangout with the wrong people thank god i didnt do anything too intenses. I started going to church again, i grew up in a christian household where every Sunday I would attend church that one time I got prayed over from my pastor broke me inside the things that he told me was true. The way I was to hard on myself always wanted what was best for me. My mom has always been my biggest inspiration seeing the things she had to go through made her stronger, thats when i started looking up to her becoming the inspiration she has done for me. Yes as a christian things may not end well but i have to keep going to become the better version myself. As a first generation “si valio la pena” throughout this whole journey i learned from my mistakes, my challenges, my actions. Was really worth the journey!
