I was escaping the old traditional ways of China. I couldn't handle how they treated women. Growing up I didn't want to be a housewife, I wanted to follow my dreams on becoming a doctor. Of course i received no respect back in China, so i founded my way here in America hoping to gain that freedom. Even though it was rough and I wasn't fully able to obtain equality as a woman, I was still able to receive my education in Medicine.
I came to America leaving behind the things i did not want to remember. Back home (Haiti, soldiers came to my house and raped me. My poor brother was forced to do stuff with our mother. From that point on i found out about a boat fleeing to America. Little did i know, I was pregnant during my trip here to the States. Unfortunately my baby could not survive in such harsh conditions.
I'm Reymundo Barreda and I my son and I traveled miles from Mexico to get here. well my son died on the way and I never quite made it after. We were looking for opportunity and dreams. My wife and the rest of my kids stayed behind in Mexico while we went off to make money with hopes to buy a bigger home that would fit the rest of the family. I just wanted a better life, to give my kids the things they didn't have
To be honest America ain't even all that great. I mean yalls. places sounds bad but once your here and you don't fulfill those dreams that you once had its pointless. I bet my parents had dreams when they came here, but those dreams are dead now
