My mom was born in Mexico, she's been here ever since she was 16 and I'm here for her because I don't believe (in) the bill on immigration.

I was born to a single mom and raised by her and my grandparents.

My mom says I was born screaming.

She used to be a catechism teacher in Mexico and was really involved in organizing masses. Mom still keeps up with her education in Richmond at the diocese.

As I have not worried to be born, I do not worry to die.

I felt completely at home in Mexico - speaking Spanish to my cousins, running around Acapulco and stuffing my face with mole and homemade tortillas. Mexico opened my heart.
