 | Hey Ximena, I heard that your parents are pulling you out of school already. We still have about a month and a half of school left. Cant they wait? | |
|
| I dont think its a good idea to tell Mrs. Rodriguez that the reason Im getting pulled out early is to go work the summer crops. Ill need to come up with something. | |

| Im sorry Mrs. Rodriguez, my Grandfathers health is declining and my parents need to go care for him. Unfortunately, they cannot leave me alone so I must go with them. | |
|
| Well Ximena if you must. Im only worried because youve fallen so behind this school year and now you are leaving early. I worry that you are not receiving the best education. Well, I hope your grandfather recovers swiftly. | |

| Sometimes I wish I could just stay in school and not have to be pulled out early. There are so many things that I want to learn, but cant because our family depends on it. | |
|
| Lets go Ximena. We just arrived at our first farm. Its time to get to work so we can survive. I know you didnt want to leave school, but we need to do this for us. I hope you understand. | |
