After he makes it across Carlitos is separated from the transporters and is eventually helped by Enrique who takes him to Los Angeles where they search for the payphone that Rosario used to call Carlitos at 10 a.m every Sunday. After a run-in with the cops, Enrique is arrested, but Carlitos gets away and finds his mother at the payphone she described to him during one of their calls.

All was well until I graduated and started looking for a job…..After three months of rejections, I added “Julie” to my resume. Call it a coincidence, but the job offers started coming in. Perhaps it’s the same kind of coincidence that keeps African Americans from getting cabs in New York.” I can truly relate to this quote. People say that everything is not race related.

The Volunteer Frenchman and His Poetry Alan Seeger, son of Charles Louis Seeger, was born in New York City on June 22, 1888.

So weeks passed by and the day for us to leave came, we got in a car in Huichapan, Hidalgo and we rode to the border of Mexico/USA. We were hiding, I didn’t know where I was or what was happening, I was scared because all I knew was that if they found us we were not going to my dad. A day later passed, The Coyote and his people woke us up and told us “buenas noticias, todo paso bien y ya estamos en los United.” My mom was so happy as well as my sister and me. State by state, city by city, buildings by buildings, people by people, my eyes were seeing many beautiful things. We were in Houston, Texas, I saw many cars, many light, my eyes were glued to the window.
