Coming into United States meant a change of life for my grandfather completely. He sacrificed leaving behind what was most valuable to him, his wife and three sons but only for a temperate time. All for the best of finding of a job that would pay off debts and simply survival for his family. With all good intentions, and hard working, he made a few accomplishments. He became a working labor and legally worked in the field of the U.S., when he migrated through El Paso, Texas.
