Introduction

In my English class we are reading The Circuit. I decided to write about Francisco Jimenez because he had fought a lot to make a better life with his family. Francisco is an immigrant kid. Francisco and his family lived in Guadalajara Mexico, but they wanted to make a better life in California. Francisco was too young so he didn't know what California was. Roberto his big brother was very excited to take that long trip his dad was too. When they got to the border they had to walk a lot until they were far from the border patrol. When you first get to United States it is hard to get money especially if you’re an immigrant. Francisco and his family had to work hard to complete their dream and to have their better life like they wanted.
