By Ryan Bauer Hi       my name is Zuirri and I am 16 years old And my name is Sellana and I am 11 years old. We are Mexicans In 1945 we had to leave Mexico because there were a lot of drugs, and soldiers that wanted to kill us and our family was very poor The solders thought that they could rule Mexico My sister and I asked if we could go to the United States to live for the rest of our lives but the people that wanted to rule Mexico said that nobody could leave Mexico and nobody can come in Our mom looked in her secret drawer and found fifty pesos and gave it to us to go out and buy a car She also said that there was a car shop right around the corner and if we snuck there maybe we could find a car that is fifty pesos So we snuck around the corner creped into the car shop and asked if there was a car for fifty pesos They said there was only one car for fifty pesos but it was really old and some of the time it did not work We wanted to get the car for forty pesos But bob said that forty-five pesos and that was final and we both said We’ll take it! When we were driving back someone saw us so we started to panic we drove quickly to our house But when we turned the corner we saw another person so we stopped until the person left our street When he left we carefully went into our house and we saw our mom crying and asked what had happened She said that we had to leave now or never but if you wanted to leave we had to leave at night so the soldiers would not catch us It was night time and we quickly packed and scrammed into the car we turned on the car and it made a little squeak and we jumped into it  I started driving the car very slowly so nobody could hear us and we started looking around and nobody was there It was a very bumpy road and it was so windy and I remembered that Bob said that it was a car that could break down whenever and all of the sudden the top of the car came out We started to panic and it was so hard to drive because we started to get cold. So we had to ditch our car because we had reached the border and there was a scanner that monitored the amount of metal that crossed the border. Since our car was made of metal we couldn’t cross it we had to walk for the rest of the way. Our family was to poor for us to buy shoes and our feet started to get blisters on them. We found a bench and we sat on it and we were so tired, cold and hungry so we fell asleep on the bench When we woke up it was morning and started to walk again But we found an American named Billy on our way and he offered us some food we couldn’t under stand him because we only spoke Spanish we took the food anyway because we were so hungry. We didn’t understand Billy and he motioned us to come with him and we didn’t want to come with him but we did anyway He brought us to a little town and there was an abandoned little shelter he took us too. I was so scared but Billy told us to not be scared he took us to this little place called Home for Shelter There we got water and food he was so nice to us and he let us sleep there for the night but he said that we could only sleep there for that night That night I was sad I wondered what was going on in Mexico and if they had found out that we left and if they had done anything to our family I told my sister that they were probably ok and that they would never find out that we left because the other Mexicans don’t even know our own names But I don’t care if they don’t know our own names because they know that we exist and anyway. I can’t go to sleep But we went to sleep anyway and when we were sleeping we heard a very strange noise it kind of sounded like a dog I had to ask my sister what that noise was and she said that it was a dog and that we were going to be ok I also told her that it was ok and that we should just go back to bed and we will leave in the morning I said ok lets just go back to bed when we woke up we had breakfast and we heard a phone ring It was mom! We asked her if she was ok and she asked us if we are ok and we said Yeah She said yes and that our family is ok and that we can come back to Mexico because somebody caught the soldiers But then we told her that we had to ditch The car so we could pass the scanners So she came out to find us with the rest of our family and they found us and we lived happily every after.
