Findings from interview:

Mexican born

Moved to Los Angeles, California for

three years

Younger brother born in U.S.

His biggest challenge was language

His expectations of the U.S. was to

experience freedom and it䇻s beautiful landscape

Actual experience was the opposite - he

missed his liberty and freedom from

Mexico

What he misses from U.S. schools is not

having to wear a uniform

Parents plan to move back to U.S. for

him to finish high school
