Abstract
Para la Familia is a poem about my dad and how he worked for his family throughout his entire life. While this is a poem about my dad, I know other people who emigrated from other countries share similar experiences. I chose to write this poem because I have heard variations of this story from many people in my culture, and I think it is important to bring up the stories of immigrants who come to this country to make a better life for their families. They are doing what many people’s ancestors did back when this country started. Given today’s political climate, I think it is more important to tell these stories because of the picture painted of immigrants from Mexico.
