“When you get out of the airplane please call us, ok?” This was the third time my mother had said this. My sister and I kissed our parents goodbye and we headed towards the airport. I couldn't believe I was actually going to Mexico. I’ve never been to Mexico before. I was finally going to meet my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, and my cousins.
My parents are not from this country. They come from a small town in Mexico. They came here when they were really young, leaving everything and everyone behind. A few years ago we left for our parents to reunite with their families. Mexico changed a lot, it was now a country with very little resources for families as big as ours. At first we didnt struggle with money, we had opened a small liquor store. Things didnt work out and we had to close. We now faces many problems. We had no moreny, our parents had no jobs, and it was 5 kids and 2 dogs. We all slept in one tiny room. We slept on the bed, while our parents slept on a blanket on the floor. School was a year behind compared to the US school curriculum. I wanted to be someone in life, have
Waving goodbye from the backseat of the car, as we pull out of my parent’s driveway. Looking out the window at the oddly, white shaped clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us.
Every year I go to Mexico, during spring break and summer. It's always relaxing laying on the beach or going on a nice refreshing swim in the 70 degree water. It was an average day down in mexico during the summer of 2017; I remember my family and I relaxing at home after a long day on the boat. I was feeding the street dog because I could tell she was either having puppies, or already had puppies. She was starving to death, her ribs were showing, I knew I had to help her. I started feeding her three times a day so she could start producing milk if she’s already had the puppies; or so she could keep the puppies healthy while she was still pregnant. A few days later I walked outside to feed her, and I hear whimpering like the sound newborn puppies
The sun was shining bright and a clear ocean blue sky in Mexico. It was a great start that morning until, Elizabeth had to make a difficult decision that could change her whole life. She has four siblings and her mom and dad. Her parents didn't make enough money to pay for school and for other multiple things. So Elizabeth and her siblings would just stay at home and help out their mom clean around the house. Sometimes they would just mess around at home not helping out with their mom.
Everything was so new and yet so familiar. Places I have seen and places I have not. A new and funny feeling swam through my body unsure what to think about this feeling. Never felt it before, and I somehow knew it wouldn’t be that last.
It's been eight years. Eight years. Held captive against my will. I'm beginning to believe that I'll also die here.
Currently, as stated above, our children are of ages five and nine. They truly are inextricable towards their father. Fernando Jr. Is currently in 3rd grade at elementary school. He is a very smart child and has a huge heart. On the other hand, Melissa, is truly full of energy, excitement, and is exceptionally intelligent. I know that as a mother, if I have to be away for awhile, it would be devastating for me. It would make me feel angered, anxious, and of course depressed. I would never want to come home to my kids not being able to greet their father like they usually do, with hugs and kisses. Also, knowing that I will not be able to have the financial support of my husband will devastate me. Currently my husband and I are employed. I am
Once Upon a Time in Mexico is released after Robert Rodriguez achieved successful performance with El Mariachi, which is his famous low-budget film. El Mariachi was made for only $7000, but received enthusiastic praise from the audience at Sundance Film Festival.

“Come on guys, going to be late”, my brothers told me and my sister as well as my sister in law. Running down our long stairs in Mexico. Wishing I could live there, but things aren’t as they were before. Wearing long brown boots and all dressed up to go watch the bulls. Walking for about 10 minutes to get there, stopped by my cousin’s store get get some drinks. Finally got there with my family. Trying to get a spot to sit at for a nice view.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate Mexico and the possibility of internationalization.

Out of the three country, when thinking about the most accessible country for to people to go and not too expensive. Additionally a country where we would be able to spend more money on providing services, than getting the money for each person to use to be there.

“You better be ready because as soon as we get off the plane we will be going straight to your grandpa’s house!” I knew my mom, wasn’t talking to be because when I looked beside me and saw my sister still sleeping like a pig. It seemed like my parents ran as fast as rabbits. Once we got the plane we waited impatiently for 20 minutes to get our bags. Already in the city airport (Guatemala City), we decided to eat first then get a lot of water because the way to my grandpa’s

Ever since that first trip to Mexico to see my grandmother for the first time, we talk at least every month. Sometimes I regret for not being friendly early on. She taught me to be open to new things, to enjoy the simple things, and to appreciate what life has given me. I have gained a friend, a mentor, and a new
As my eyes lit up like the fourth of July, I stood with my feet stuck to the ground, and my nerves tingle with happiness because of how marvelous it was. I didn't know a Mexico resort could be so nice.
