Big Bro

           My brother, Abraham Hernandez was born in the city of Mazatlan in January 18, 1990. The city is located in the state of Sinaloa. It is a very beautiful city, with nice beaches that are so nice. Many people go there for vacations.  It is a very famous tourist attraction. The water is very nice staying in the “sixty-five - seventy-five degrees all year long” (Mazatlan beaches). That is a very good temperature to swim in. I have never been to Mexico, but when I do go, I definitely want to go to the Mazatlan beaches.

         The city of Mazatlan is a very big city, that brings people from around the world to its beaches. “With a population of 438,434” shows how populated the city is, to fit almost half a million people. “Mazatlan is the second-largest city in the sate”. It is in fact a big city, the second largest in Sinaloa. I always wanted to retire and go live in México, and if I do ever have that kind of money, I would definitely want to retire in Mazatlan, Sinaloa.

From what my brother told me, he started school at the age of three. It is weird how they start school at the age of three over there. I believe that is how it should be, for the sake of out future being smarter than us now. If we start school at a younger age, then things will stick to us much better. We’ll even have a better understanding to what they mean. It also depends on the state, but if all schools made the starting age of three, or at least at four, then our next generation will be much smarter. I believe Mexico has a good teaching system.

          Two years later, my brother started kindergarten in Loma Vista. That elementary school is only five block away, and 16 years ago my brother was attending there. I also attended there, and I loved that school. I will never forget the cookies that they sold there. I remember this one time when I was in kindergarten. My brother was a fifth grader, and I remember forgetting my folder in his backpack, and then I  started to cry. As a child I had fun and I will never forget my childhood at Loma Vista Elementary.

          In 2004, my brother started high school. He went to a school named Bell High. He was a football player, but when he was jumping a fence, he dislocated his elbow. He was not the same after that, and decided to quit. I can relate to it, when I got surgery for my tendon rupture in wrestling. He was class of 08, and even though he did not graduate in time, he still managed to obtain his diploma. He was the first, so he didn’t have anybody to help him. He still did good though, by obtaining his diploma, even though I was couple moths late. He had many adventures in Bell High School, and I hope I have as much fun in my remaining year.

          In conclusion, my big brother was born in Mazatlan, Sinaloa in 1990. The city of Mazatlan is a very popular tourist attraction, that brings people from around the world. My big brother went to kinder in Mexico, and continued his education in the U.S. He attended Loma Vista, and bell, just like I did. He also had an injury in a sport, just like I did last semester. He is a great big brother, and a role model.
