Assignment #3- Sam Chavez- Home and back

Hopefully you don't think I'm recycling content here but we just don't travel much. But my trip to Pueblo this past summer was extremely eye opening in the sense that it showed me more of my dad's past and showed me the different little world that he grew up in. Lining the streets of my dad's hometown were poor families, tall weeds, vandalized walls, and convenient stores on every corner. However my dad would never be involved in the violence or the shady activity that crawled in every ally. Instead he would stay near the "nicer" parts of town. The churches, the schools, things of that nature. While there, I got to visit my cousins and half brother at an exclusive 5-star restaurant you've probably never heard of. Chili's. We later went to the cemetary where my great grandma, grandma, and aunts that I never had the blessing of meeting were buried. This trip not only showed me what an inspiration my dad is, but also showed how Chavez's in Pueblo still remain strong, never wavering to the temptations that it has to offer.
