Photo Story #2: Immigration

This week’s assignment was immigration. I found an incredible family that let me into their lives for the week. The Sierra family is from Mexico and have been living in the U.S. for ten years. The father of the family, Genaro was my main focus. He is a hardworking and loving father. Mr. and Mrs. Sierra do not speak english and their children do not speak spanish. The exception to the family is the oldest son Carlos who speaks both fluently. After Genaro puts his kids on the bus, he leaves for school as well. Genaro is in english classes at the technical college in town and is dedicated to learning english. Despite our broken communication due to the translation factor, I fit in with the family and truly enjoyed the time I spent with them.
