Family Immigration

     It is a family of  values, hard working and respect. My family in the past was in charge of agriculture. In growing crops for themselves in the countryside. As a very good father and a one interested in succeeding and grow up as a strong family he sent her daughters to America for 5 years to get a better life. That was my grandmother. When she was 19,on 1966, she went together with other two sisters to America for a period of 5 years. The main reason for this immigration was for a better job opportunity and bring back money to their homeland for their family. She worked on a factory for those 5 years and as been told brought together with her money to the family and to start her own life back in Puerto Rico. With the money she got from America she helped her father with the agriculture. And at the age of 26 she married my grandfather.
 
    My grandfather's brother instead immigrated to the U.S. and stayed there. He still lives in Chicago and has lived there since he was 28. There in Chicago he met his wife and he never regrets the day he immigrated to live the American Dream.

    Many people like my grandmother and my uncle immigrated to the U.S. to get money for their family in Puerto Rico. Here it is shown that you need to risk your life and be brave to face anything  to succeed in life. Like others my grandmother was very sucessfull and those who were not well at least they tried to live a better life. Something like this you must face when you graduate. you must risk and lose to gain and succeed.
