Student blogs about working parents

April 11, 2008

I received my first submission from one of the students in the Mi Cultura group at Incline High School today.

Here it is:

By Alex Reyes

Well, this is how my story goes. My dad has a job at the new elementary school. He wakes up at 6 a.m., while my mom, sister and I are asleep.

I don’t see him.

I go to school, then after school I go eat with friends and then go home. My mom is there babysitting. I get ready to go practice soccer like at 3:30. My dad gets at my house like at 4 p.m.

After practice, I go home like at 8, and I only get to see my dad like for one hour.

I just want to let everybody know that if you want to see someone important to you, try and try really hard so you can see that person. Some friends that I have do the same thing.

I just want to say that us Latins, or Mexicans, that our parents want the best for us and that’s why they suffer so much for us.

Try to appreciate your parents. Sometimes they can be rude, but that’s how parents get. They have to go through so much that we don’t even know.
