Lessons Learned

Growing up was difficult especially around my father. Most of what me and my brothers did was wrong and shouldn't be doing it. I remember when I was young I went to go see my friend that happened to walk by, my parents saw me walk by them and after I returned they go upset with me. They always told me not to talk to anybody unless they know that person and, being in the big mexican family I am in! They hear a bunch of stuff. Aside from all that, I thought living was impossible with my father at home. I always feel grounded its home, school, and work, never to really socialize.
