Growing up was harder when kids made fun of you for being half and half. Kids never understood how it felt to be half white and half Hispanic. My oldest brother is 3 years older then I am. When I was a freshman he was a senior in High school there are 7 more children. Mateo who's 19, Marina who's 17, Ian who's my twin brother who's 16, Elena who's 13, Elena's twin Isaac. Anthony who's 3. With all these kids it was never easy on my mom raising two sets of twins. Our dad left our mom 17 years ago when marina was born but coming back every so often when he got bored. He made sure to keep a connection with us even if he's not there all the time. Growing up and staying in the same house was always interesting. My mother always let us do anything we wanted since there was always extra children. Having friends over was hectic as I share a room with 3 other kids. All girls in one room and all the boys in another.
