we are only getting older

It has been for a while that I’ve been thinking of publishing some writing, whether it has been the long tedious hours at work, the dynamics forces of social media secluding myself in such immerse world, and the inept boredom in life, I hope to at least make the effort to share these thoughts.

It is only appropriate to Let's start at the beginning. Like many and so few, I was born in Portland, Oregon, to Mexican immigrants.

All of this would bring my or my family’s story into the epic center of America’s political forces, even though it was not in the for front news, it brought irreparable damage to children, families, and communities like mine. In part, perhaps that it is our grater calling, the ability to create our own paths, traditions, and at least make this world a little better than how we entered it.

I hope to tell you more about the forces that shaped me, the grappling decisions a young American deals with the dynamics that make my past, in on many ways is shaping my future, and finally at least provide perspective to experiences that have shaped me, and for many have shaped them.
