There American Dreams!



I am going to interview my mom Maria Cabrera .
I can't interview my father because he is in Mexico
getting stuff work out. I am going to ask my mother
couple of questions. I am going to translated what my
mom is saying so the people can understand.



What was your American Dream when you set foot in U.S. soil?
To find a place to live with your big brother Diego and so your brother can get a good education and to get my papers work out so I can get a good job. Also for your brother to be a resident and then a citizen in the U.S.A.
What kind of job did you want to have?
I wanted to be a cashier worker because I like to be in a public place.
Did my brother become a full citizen in the U.S.?
Yes, he did, he married his girlfriend Sandra Lopez and she help your brother to fix his papers.
Did you meet that dream?
Yes, I did I work in La Chiquita and I been working there for 15 years.
Did your son Diego get a good education?
Yes, he did he is going for his Master Degree for Engineer. I just need my other son Edgardo to get a good education as his brother.
Did you get your papers work out to be resident?
Yes, my papers were work out because your brother fix my papers so I can be a resident.
If you can get another job in the U.S now that you are a resident what will it be?
I want to be a person that works in an office for a government because I am getting tired of being standing up for 9 hours straight in the cashier.
Now that you are resident is there any other goals or dreams that you want to be accomplished?
Yes, I want to learn how to drive and be able to speak English so I can commuicate with other people in the country or in the phone.
Did you learn how to drive?
Yes, I did I took a class for driving and it took 3 class so I can learn how to drive. I was so happy that I got my driver's license in the first try.
Did you learn how to speak English?
I learn a couple of words but not a lot so no, I didn't learn how to speak English, but I am not going to give up on my goal.
So there are a couple of questions I asked my mother she has been working hard to accommplish her dreams. It was about time she accommplish to be a resident because I didn't want my mother to be deported because I will very sad and devastated and broken. I think that this The American Dream!

Your mom is doing a good job at keeping up her goals and to have raised your brother and you all by herself since your dad isn't with you right now. But atleast she got some of her dreams come true! Many residents want to have a job they won't get tired too.
