Always Running: Chapter 3

In this chapter, Luis starts working at his car washing job at the age of 13. At a very young age, he has been involved with gangs and violence, but he constantly struggles to try to get back into school and wanting to succeed in life. I can relate to this because at a young age my parents were barely home. My brother and I had to take care of ourselves and find out how to work that around school and homework. Although we weren’t involved with gang violence or anything, we did eventually have to stop complaining about our circumstances and begin to take ignition. We all want to succeed in life, but the real question is how much do you want it.
