Dear Diary,
I am extremely grateful to have what I have today and to be where I am today knowing where I came from and where parents came from. I mom was born in El Salvador. She moved to the United States when she was 1 and a half with her Grandma. She was raised poor and would later be poor as an adult. She known my father since high school, they would have a baby right after high school, 5 years later have my other brother, and 4 years later have me. A little after my mother had me my parents split up but I would still see him. We lived with my mom in a small 2 bedroom apartment in East LA. My mom was always working to provide for her 3 sons. She would go from job to job trying to make as much money for us. After work she would pick us up from the YMCA. When I was 6 years old, we moved out the apartment to a house where I live at now. Back then I didn’t want move and my brother didn’t either but it was going to be the better life for us. Now looking back, I am extremely proud of my mom for what she has been through to get us where we are at now. My brother made family history, to be the first one to go to college, mostly because of his hard work but also because he had the opportunity to go to a good school with good education all because of her hard work to get us out the hard life in East LA. Thank you, Mom, so much for what you have sacrificed and been through to get us where we are at now.
