1952

My Abuelo and Abuela came to the states on the back of crates

In hope to see their children have greater fates

1990

My Mom and Dad became expectant during school

and everyone though they were fools

2017

I am a high school Senior

and I am a dreamer 

I dream and aspire

to be the first woman in my family that's one to admire

College hasn't been of anyone's years

but I will be the first to see their tears and cheers

when I conquer my family's fears,

and become the first woman to graduate with a degree

while I still serve my country overseas.
