It was just like any other day. I was working with papa at the market in Monterrey , selling our chickens eggs, and milk from the cows. We'd wake up every morning, and travel an hour from Reynosa to Monterrey. We knew that there are many gangs around, but still go to the market, because that is the only way to make money around without an education. I live at home with my six siblings, mama, papa, and abuela. I am fifteen, and the oldest of my siblings. I do most of the cooking, chores, and errands. Our town is very small, and poor, so none of us have educations, and some of us cannot even write our own language, but that is how it is with everyone around here. We do learn some english from working at the market. You never know, sometimes American travelers will stop by to look around.
Papa, and I set up our table, table clothes, and baskets that have all of the food in them. "Marie, go get the sign from the car." He says, and do as he says. On the way to the car I see a car that does not belong to anyone around here. A black suburban that belongs to a white man in a suit, and wearing obviously expensive sunglasses. He waves to me, and I smile a bit pulling the sign out of the car. Just as I walk past the car, he approaches me. "What is such a beautiful, young lady doing around here?" I smile, and continue up to papa. "I was just wondering the same thing." He smiles, and puts his hand out. "I am Aaron, I run a large company, and have been looking for land to build another factory." He says, and I shake his hand. " I am Marie, and I am working with my papa. He follows me up back to my papa.
