When I was a little girl my family lived in Mexico. I went to school k-1st in Mexico then attended 1st-12th in Eagle Pass Texas. I used to play with dolls and I would teach them math. I didn’t climb trees but I did jump rope. My friends and I would go out and play hide and seek. I enjoyed drawing and behaved well.
When my brother was little he constructed with Lego’s and would fight with me. His favorite toy was a Star Wars sword. My grandmother worried about us. My mother worked and sang at home. When my family would get together, they would tell jokes and laugh a lot.
Cuando era niña, my familia vivía en México. Fui a la escuela kínder a primero en México y después asistí Primero a 12 grado en Eagle Pass Tx. Yo jugaba con muñecas y les ensenaba matemáticas. No trepaba a los arboles pero si saltaba a la cuerda. Mis amigos y yo salíamos y nos escondíamos. Me divertía dibujar y me portaba bien.
Cuando mi hermano era niño, el construía con legos y se peleaba conmigo. Su juguete favorito era una espada de Star Wars. Mi abuela se preocupaba de nosotros. Mi madre trabajaba y cantaba en casa. Cuando mi familia se reunía, contaban chistes y nos reíamos mucho.
