The Story of My Family!

My ancestors are all from Guamaní and Patillas in Puerto Rico, and throughout the years we have decided to stay here, because this is our home. There have been some changes in the way we live compared to our ancestors. They lived more in the country side and they made money by working in sugar cane plantations and in other farms. Today, we live in the city side because there is more job opportunities and more schools.
Today many Puerto Ricans tend to study out of Puerto Rico, since it turns out to be more successful and faster. My father and sister went to the U.S. to study and passed through many hardships. My father told me that it was not easy to get use to the different environment. He felt a little uncomfortable because when it was time for group works, he realized that he was always left out of the groups. He could not hold it anymore, so he returned to Puerto Rico and continued his life here and married my mother, which was also Puerto Rican, and had to girls.
My sister is seven years older than me and I have learned many things from her. She went to study to New York and she does not regret it because it helped her a lot. I asked her if she was caught in a situation such as the one of my father, but she did not. She said that things were different in the U.S. since there were more immigrants from many places around the world studying. Yes, there were some groups that were still racists but they could not do anything because the majority of the people were immigrants.
My family is very united and help each other out, no matter what the situation is. I know that many people don't like us, Puerto Ricans, but that is the way we are and nobody can change us or our culture.People are equal and should be treated fairly, no matter their color, culture, language or if they are immigrants or not. People move to other places looking for a better life, not to destroy a country.
