My first time to Mexico

It was 3:10 a.m. when we loaded the vans. Everyone appeared to be half way asleep, even the driver, but we were all ready for the trip. We arrived at our hotel at 7:30a.m. After checking in we drove across the border. I had never been to Mexico before, but the first sight of it made me sick. It may have been from the long hot ride there, but I like to think it …

…not happy. It was such a sad thought knowing that every night I throw food away that I was too picky to eat and every night they pray they had food. I learned not to take for granted everything I have, because at the same time that I am taking a hot shower, people in Mexico are taking a bath in a bucket full of river water in front of a one room cardboard house.
