“Grillo” as his dad would call him, him and his family have had been struggling living in Los Angeles. All his family do not know how to speak english that well. People do not see them as normal citizens even though they are not. They are all immigrants coming from Chihuahua Mexico. Grillos dad does not want to go back to Mexico because he feels like has nothing to do over there and wants to work in the US because he feels as if he has a better chance of being more successful here. Grillo’s mom begins to work just for part time since she still has to go home and make food with what they have at home. They have been struggling having to earn money just to have food or a piece of bread. Grillo has started going to school at the age of 6 his mom did not want him to go to school because his little sister was not at the age she would go to school. He was not able to learn anything most teachers had no idea what to do since he did not know english so they just had him sit in the corner building blocks. His dad decided to be a spanish teacher, unfortunately since he did not know english he did now know how else to teach the kids and he had to go look for another job.
