My Family


Here is a picture of my family. We are five brothers and sisters and besides my sister Ana A. and I, everyone else including my mother migrated from the Dominican Republic. My brother Fransisco and my sister Joanna(standing on my right side) came to the U.S. with my mother and then after six years when I was born my father and mother brought my sister Damary (standing next to Joanna) form the Dominican Republic over here. They all struggled at first to to accomodate themselves to this weather and the language like my brother Fransisco said in his video, but after awhile Joanna and Fransisco got the hang of things and were able to go to school and learn not only the English language but other languaes as well. And My mother and my sister Damary both work as House Aids taking care of the elderly. As for my sister Ana A. and I we did not go through as many struggles as our family did because we were born her. Yet we did feel the same pain and fustrations that our family members wee going through when being discriminated and having a hard time finding a job.
