I come from a background of a normal Mexican family. Both of my parents were born in Mexico and came to the US when they were older. My father had a strong sense of pride to support and provide for me and my two older brothers. Yes we grew up in the lower working class, but he refused to receive any type of welfare because he was the one who was suppose to provide for us. My mother made sure that we always had something to eat everyday. Any time she sees us shes asks, "have you ate yet?" We always had food at home, but they did struggle to buy vegetables sometimes because of the prices going up. For fruit we did not worry because my father is a field worker and brought home fruit to eat. we never had the problem of not have something to eat because they made sure that money was saved up to buy food and pay for any unexpected situations and bills.
