My Dad

 

             My dad Jose Hernandez Lopez was born in august 23 1975 in Mexico Tijuana. When he was 9 years old his mother died of a heart problem. He was placed in the care of his aunt who started him working at a very young age.  Then he drop out of school and started working a full time job. Then at the age of 16 he joins the Mexican army. His duty was to scout the mountain to find marijuana plant and to destroy them. It was mandated by the government that illegal substances be controlled. He cut them and burn them to prevent the drug cartel. He did that for a year in a half and then returns home. When he turn 18 he and his sister decided to come to the U.S to leave there past behind. He starts to work as a baker, then a construction worker. Then he tried truck driving, which is what he wanted to do.  Then at the age of 36 he finds out he is suffering a disease call bipolar. This relate to history because presidents around the world are stopping the drug selling business. For example president of Mexico in 1993, Salinas started working with the U.S to stop it.” Mexico insists that the trackffing in the U.S won’t grow a enormous amount”. (U.S library of congress) “Americans large truck radar deploy at the border or on the highway”.
