My family is one of more than 11 million undocumented people living in the United States. My family left his country, family, and everything behind for a better future for my brother and me. My parents grew up poor in Mexico and with an outdoor bathroom. When they came to the United States, life could be described as a rose, but remember roses have thorns. Moving to the United States was a hard transition, especially coming into the United States in Middle School. It was a terrible time for me because I felt alone due to the fact that I was not fluent in English and many of my classmates discriminated against me. Little did I know that something dark would be creeping upon me called depression. I have been depressed since seventh grade and I still am depressed. My depression has been a big toll on me and my family because my family would always tell me that I needed help but I would deny it. I have got to a point in my life that I realized I needed it. Some of the reasons why I got depressed was because I miss my country and my classmates would make fun of me. I would always have to over think when I wanted to ask a question in class. I hated the fact I would be mad fun because of the way I speaked. That's when I decided I would have courage to get help in class and speak up no matter if I would be made fun of. That’s exactly what I did I get help with my tutor in my english and got help with depression. My depression has been better since now I go to therapy every week and I have prescribed medicine that helps me.Therapy has helped me in some many ways because I feel like I can tell someone my problems and they can give me advice on what to do. Coming to the USA was worth it at the end. In the beginning it was really hard because of not knowing the language. I would sacrifice a lot of my afternoons coming after school. I would have a tutor who would help me read and write english. At times I would want to give up but in the back of my head I know I had to learn the language as soon as possible, because my family needed me to translate wherever we went and I could teach them. Time went on and I finally received my recognition of passing my writing and speaking english. This was so helpful because I helped my family learn the language and this was helpful for them because they could get around easier and understood whomever they were speaking to. I know coming to the USA was the most difficult part of my life but in the end everything was worth it because me and my family now know the language and are financially stable in the USA and we are helped because we are able to help my family from Mexico. We are happy and know one day we will go back to my country.
