Mexico Experience

My family and I have gone on many vacations to a lot of locations around the world. The worst trip I’ve ever taken was my trip to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. This trip was so unenjoyable to me because right from the get go things weren’t looking good for me; when we arrived in Mexico it was raining and very windy. Even so, when we got to the resort and checked in, I found that the lock on my hotel room door was broken and I was unable to get into my room. It took hours for the hotel staff to figure out what was wrong and fix it. The next five days were sunny and warm but unfortunately it was still too windy to do any water activities like scuba diving. Which really aggravated me because earlier in the summer I had spent

I was sitting on the couch with my brother and sister watching television when my mom and dad came to ask us if we wanted to go to Mexico with our aunt and cousins and we said yes we were all excited because we were finally going to get to meet our family members that live there.

I remember the day me and my family had left. It was one of the most emotional events of my life. I couldn’t believe I was going to become an American citizen. As we got closer and closer to the border, my heart pumped faster and faster. I felt like if I were in a dream, where as I was unstoppable. After the 10 hour drive to the border, we had arrived. I was a bit nervous at first. I kept thinking what if the customs didn’t let us go through, what if they

Mexico is bordered by the United States on the north, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea on the east, and Guatemala and Belize on the south. It is characterized by an extraordinary diversity in topography and climate and is crossed by two major mountain chains, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental. The high central plateau between these two mountain ranges historically funneled most of the human population toward the center of this region. Mexico features volcanic peaks, snow-capped mountains, tropical rain forests, and internationally famous beaches. Mexico City is an enormous metropolitan area and dominates the rest of the country's culture, economy, and politics. Nearly

During the summer my family and me went on vacation to mexico to see my grandma at her house it took us 2 days to get to her town is mexico when we got there is was 11 at night my uncle opened the garage door to let us in when we got off the car my grandma opened the door to let us in her house she gave everyone a hug the her and my mom started to cook food for everyone.

My father is now living in a small rural town in Mexico called Sandoval, Chihuahua (Riva Palacio) with a population of around 150 people. He doesn’t have phone service or internet access where he lives so communication is nearly impossible. Not being able to see or even hear from

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

Growing up in a hispanic family, most of my family lives in mexico.All my life has consisted of very little family around me. Unlike most people i know who's house is full during the holiday, my house is not.The rest of my family resides in Veracruz, mexico and it is not often when we get to see them. Therefore if i had the opportunity to go anywhere at this very moment, i would definitely choose Veracruz. Not only do i enjoy seeing my family, but mexico is honestly my favorite place in the world.Everything about being there makes me happy my days there always begin the same way.My favorite aunt picks us up at the airport where we then proceed onto my grandma's house.My grandmother always makes sure there is a home cooked meal waiting for us as soon as we walk through the door. The meal usually consists of many different dishes,from something so simple like eggs to native mexican dishes of which i don't even know the name of.After breakfast we usually like to take

My father wanted a better life for us, he thought life is making choices, and he wanted his Mom & children near him so he can be a father to us . In 1999 ' when my father calleds my Grandma and said, " we have to be in Kenya in order for the process to be porcessed. I still can remember how terrified I was leaving my homeland I had to leave my mom , freind , and my relative in Somalia.The process takes sometimes before you get approved. We moved to a place where everything was different culturly , religiously, and they spoke a language that I could't understand I was surrounded by a new environment and everything seems so hard . But then i adjust to that alien environment. I made friends , i learned the laugues "Sawahili" I was in a different land and I learn a different culture , there are a lot of surprises and somethimes difficult things that impresses when you are in a country that you have never been

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.

Over the course of my life, I have had many opportunities to overcome and learn from various obstacles. I have learned how to not only identify problems, but encounter the solutions. This greatly benefited me during my time serving as a zone leader in the Cuernavaca Mexico mission. Because of this experience, I am confident speaking in public and teaching large groups of my peers. I am organized and have a grand testimony of the power of planning daily and weekly. Before my time in the mission, I dedicated much to the arts of singing and acting. I have worked hard to develop a talent, and through that talent, I have had the privelege of performing in eleven stage shows, musicals, and benefit concerts, as well as traveling with a jazz acapella

My mom brought me to America in 2002. This move was difficult as I had to leave my family behind. Up until then, I grew up in the midst of a large, extended family. I had cousins to play with and multiple adults to spoil me. Furthermore, moving to an entirely different continent where the culture and environment was different from what I was used to, did not help. I experienced quite a bit of culture shock and language became a problem. Those first few months when I could not communicate with my new classmates were lonely. On top of that, seeing my parents work so hard to build a new life in a country where we had no family to rely on, made me hate our situation. However, being an immigrant taught me some valuable lessons and shaped who I am today. At an early age, I learned to become more independent, more responsible. I had to learn to do certain tasks, such as making my lunchbox, doing my homework, by myself. I had to learn to adapt and to appreciate what we had. Each new place we moved to, I experienced something new. In Ohio, I learned what chicken tenders were. In New Jersey, I experienced my first snowfall. In Texas, I bought my first pair of cowboy boots. As I grew up, I learned to treasure what the United States had to

Many people come to the united states for opportunities and a better life for their children. My grandmother came to the united states at the age of fourteen years old with no documentation or someone to take care of her. She was born in Mexicali, Mexico in small town named vai de la tirneda were going up with seven other siblings was very difficult for her parents. They struggle to make living and provide food for the family. Because of the situation that she was facing at home she made the hardest decision of her life to go to the united states at such a young age. Her aunt and uncle had come to visit it her and her family. It was then when she knew it was time to go. She packed her belongings and left. She was afraid she remembers. Having

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

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.
