This is another assinment my english teacher gave me, interview an immigrant. The man I interviewed was named Lupe. The interview is as follows
Me: So, who did you come to America with?
Lupe: I took my wife and my son. He was only a baby at the time.
Me: Why did you come to America?
Lupe: Well, it's a long story. You see, my mom was sick so my dad came to get a job and send her money. After a few months, he stoped sending money. So I set off to find him and get a job myself.
Me: What hardships did you experienced?
Lupe: Well, when we entered the second dessert, we were cased by coyotes. One bit my leg. We threw our food and they left with it.
Me:What else do you remember before you got here?
Lupe: Well, when we were leaving Mexico city, a farmer stoped us on the road. He was driving by on his truck. He gave us food and gave me a sage that healed my leg.
Me: Ok, last question. Did you find your dad?
Lupe: I did. Do you want to know why he stoped sending money to my mom? Well, it is because he had another family over here.
Me: So, was it worth comeing over?
Lupe: Yes it was. I have a good job, a loving family, and my mom is feeling better.
