Grandma didn't talk much about the journey coming to the U.S. she didn't want her family to worry about how she came to a small town to live. It was very hard for her family to come from Mexico to the U.S. because they had to travel on foot from Mezcala all the way to L.A with limited food and water. Grandma wanted to leave Mexico because she wanted her children to have a better life in the U.S.A to receive an education and a good career.


When my grandma and grandpa came to the U.S. they immediately started working in any job such as store stocking or cooking food for food trucks My grandpa learned to drive while my uncle was self-taught. Causing scratches on the car several times. Grandma took a lot of time taking care of 4 kids while the other 4 waited in Mezcala and learned how to make a small house out of bricks and stone." I don't regret nothing," she said and continues to teach me and my siblings.


My grandma lived in a small town called Mezcala with a big farm that grew corn. My grandma used to play in the lake/river with her sister at night. They used to take showers in the lake and played hide and seek at night all around the town in the house around the farm and the river. Her parents told her stories about her town's history like the chupacabra to scare kids at night and the running horse that would run through the city and destroyed little cabins that stores barrel wagons and mini food trucks. Legend says that it was real and destroyed a whole house but when the house came toppling down it trapped the horse in the rumble and killing the horse. Grandma loved to cook, she learned at the ages 7 and 8. Her parents were at the medium class of the chain. Grandma loved to cook tamales, pozole, and Carne de Asada. When grandma was 9 or 10 she used to play with the horses my great uncle owned.

These myths have been passed down for generations of our family's history. The first myth about the Llorona was a myth my grandma learned from her friend in 6th grade which her parents told her. Then when her parents told her she was old enough to learn about our family's myths they talked about el chupacabra and El Silbón or el cucuy that has kept me and my siblings in line. Even now our youngest cousin is learning about these myths because he often lied a lot.

visit my grandma sometimes at the end of the week and remember the old house that I used to live in where most of my good memories come from. My grandma loves our family a lot and even took care of me when my mother and father wasn't home often. Grandma was always taking care of me so I miss her a little bit more than my parents because she had a bigger impact on me and our family.
