At first I thought it was all a joke, but once I heard my mom say
“You and your sister are going to Mexico”
I was scared because I would hear a lot of bad things that happen there like people getting robbed,kidnapped killed etc. I told my mom that I did not wanna go but she insisted and said
“You're going either way” so I had no other choice but to go along with what she said.

I remember from 3 months ago My mom had brought up the same thing, asking me if I would want to go to Mexico and visit her hometown. At that time I was excited to go and really happy to visit and meet all of my family members that I've never met …show more content…

I then started imagining myself in an airplane obviously me and my sister were gonna be traveling in an airplane. Two days before the day to leave my sister and me started packing everything we were gonna take and we took 2 suitcases and we each had a backpack to take with us on the airplane. The day before me and my sister were talking about how different would it be there from here.
