Mexico's Hard Workers

This year, when I went to Mexico to fix a family problem and to visit them, I had a chance to work with my cousins and see how hard it was to work for such little money. I would wake up at 5 am, and feed the horses, give them water, then saddle them up to ride them down to rally up the cattle.

Let me tell you, this job wasn't as easy as it sounds. Cows start to wander off; if the horse doesn't recognize you it starts to freak out, and sometimes you come across another herd but instead of cows they're bulls. They have to do this twice a day and usually it's harder in the afternoon because of all the dirt that is flying in the air.

This was the reason why I came back with a tan because the sun down there burns and I would always be out either working or just seeing my people have fun with each other. No wonder Mexicans are such good workers in America (lol).
