 My family comes from Mexico but not just any part of Mexico they come from Guadalajara I believe this to be a city of religion. What is mainly known to be there are these big churches with designs the size of 50ft walls running across the ceiling. There is also a lot of violence that comes from there. Causing it to be a place you wouldn't really want to visit.  My family is very religious and full of hope thus the reason they came to America was for a greater opportunity, I believe they didn't want to stay somewhere they felt was a dangerous and unprogressing area. My Mom and Dad packed up their bags and left with only hope that America would have greater opportunities for the family they would create. One thing they always carried with them was the cross they believed that god would give them the strength to keep fighting forward no matter how difficult the road got.
