Breaking Through

Quote#1-
"His eyes turned red and watery as we approached and hugged each other. We were silent. Each one of us knew what we were feeling"page 190 Fransisco

This quote really shows how Fransisco made it through but he also struggled because he had to leave his family behind because of his education. He had a really hard time leaving his family because pretty much all his life he has been trying to help them and Fransisco really loves his family so he it's hard for him to leave home.

I had moments were I wanted to do something but I struggled with it because I didn't want to leave something behind or I didn't want to lose something For example when I swithced schools in 5th grade they switched me to a good school so I can better education. I wanted to go but I at the same time i didn't because I knew I would be leaving my friends behind. So it's similar to what Fransisco went through when he had to go to college.

Question#1-
Have you ever experienced a moment similar to Fransisco were you wanted to do or go somewhere really badly because you knew it would help you some how but didn't want to at the same time because you didn't want to leave something or someone behind?




Quote#2-
I speed ed up, crossed the bridge, and headed north to Santa Clara. I was going to college. After so many years, I was still moving. page 193 Fransisco

This is a thing Fransisco overcame in life. He wanted to get a good education and do something in the furore and he did. He overcame a challenge in his life which was getting a good education. The part were he said he was still moving was like sort of reflecting about his life because he would always move to different labor camps each season and now he was just moving forward through life accomplishing something.

I can connect to this quote because in life you face many, many things and I haven't gone through anything that Fransisco has been through and has overcome but I do have many things I have relized helped me. The conflicts I've had in live ended up getting resolved and learnd, just like how Fransisco faced his problems.

Question #2

I'm sure everyone has made a mistake in live, but how can you connect to how Francisco faced his?
