ABSTRACT
He's still a citizen of Mexico, and I am too. I have my green card. I've lived most of my life here, but I've lived a couple of years in Mexico, too. We went back and I went to elementary school back there in the Yucatan. Out here I went to elementary, junior high, and I graduated from high school. For some years, I was involved in a gang; during that time I flunked one entire grade. One day my dad he told me-well, he didn't really tell me verbal-wise-he hit me a couple of times. I couldn't believe it. I just looked at him. The thing is that I really did deserve it, and it helped knock some sense into me.
