Chapter 1
First Gen daughter
is what I am known as to a stranger, family or friends who learns that my parents didn't finish or continued their education. Thats the title you receive. "La hija que si puedo." But, where's their "First to pull their family through." Para mi ma que nos saco a delente a mi y a mis hermonos. The one who stayed awake til 2am because we both didn't know what my first grade teacher meant. The one who showed me in a way you understood best. Who when I gave up picked up where I left. The one who read my books better than me at such a young age. My mom gave up her youth, her life, the place she felt safe just to give me a world with more opportunities. Y que yo le puedo dar? a una madre que no conce, no recuerda la sala en donde baliba con sus hermanas. Su ninez, the one she remembers only by pictures or videos. Que le puedo dar mas que "the first Gen daughter" y la hija que "puedo" a la mama que sacrificado todo por mi.
