Today I am writing about my 1st(latino side) ancestor. His name was Alejandro, he was born in 1799. He was a mexican immigrant and had my great great great grandma in 1841, with this girl named May. During the years he was running away from slavery in the mexican areas. Along with some of his family, and his gf/wife (Unknown if they had any marriage) The way he got across, believe it or not, he used a wood shaft that he stole from a market sign (that was wooden) and used it as a “boat”. He had a group of people who got on the “boat” but most of them got injured from splinters and got infected, other than him. At the end there was only 3 people on the boat, many people started to swim beside the “boat”, because the boat was too painful, but most …show more content…

I understood the troubles and sacrifices they went through and felt the pain they carried for leaving their motherland, yet I didn't understand what life they were looking for me and my sisters. Years later, one afternoon, my sister greets us with the news that she got accepted to college, I thought this is it, the better life my parents wished for us, the sacrifices they made are paying off, yet to my surprise what was suppose to be proudness turned out to be

The principal stood in front of us and looked down, as though it had been his career goal to please us, the students; as though the decision weighed on his shoulders insurmountably. He paused for a moment, considering his notes, and then summoned his best solemn expression as he broke the grave news. Muck up day was no more. The eulogy for the now-deceased tradition soon followed, wherein he chronicled the many “controversies” in previous years and urged us to be “upstanding” students who avoided such “liberalities”. A more spit-on-the-grave affair truth be told, though his presentation of the matter suggested otherwise.

In honesty, and to be fully transparent; having done this assignment before, I felt that I needed to talk to a different relative and learn even more about my family history instead of just regurgitating what I already knew. This made it easy to pick the person closest to me in my life whom last time I did not choose to interview for this project; my grandma Carol. Naturally we sat down over a cup of tea, our ongoing 1,000 piece puzzle, and some music so we could chat about all the history my gran had to offer; and let me tell you that it was a lot!

In many respects, I was trying to experience Chicago for all of us, precisely because we hadn't seen much of the city due to the physical and mental limitations that our family as a whole has endured. Last night was my attempt to bring the experience back to all of you so you could get a taste of it, and then be inspired to go check it out for yourselves. I was also trying to get Dad to think more outside of the box - so that he could enjoy life more, and so that he would permit us to enjoy it too, without being on-guard.
