When It All Began

My parents were born and raised in Bogota, Colombia and were struggling to survive with the jobs they had. They wanted to find a better life, and they knew it wasn't going to happen if they stayed in Colombia. They traveled to America in hopes of receiving this better life. Upon arriving in Tampa, Florida, they learned that my mother was pregnant with me, and began to seek for jobs. I assume that laws pertaining to the workforce were not as strict when they were looking for jobs as they are now, because they quickly found jobs and rented a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. Their new lives had begun!
