Script-
She was born in Mexico City, Mexico

She lived there until 2nd grade

Her family moved to Spain for a year so her father could finish his studies. This is an example of international migration.

She returned to Mexico and lived there till 6th grade

The following year Her father then sent her to a bilingual school called ocean side public school in America to learn English

After a year she returned to Mexico to finish her high school career at the American school in Guadalajara

She attended college in Mexico and worked a few internships before meeting her husband, Carlos Veraza

Her and Carlos moved to Guatemala to work for a year

They moved back to Mexico for 3 years and had their first son Charlie. Then they voluntarily migrated to Atalanta, Georgia for a job at Coca Cola

After 2 years in Atlanta they moved back to Mexico with  Charlie so Carlos could work for Frito-lay

In these three years in Mexico Jorge and Sophia were born

Christina and her family then moved Dallas for a new job opportunity for Carlos

While this was a voluntary migration a push factor for them to leave Mexico was that it was not the safest place for Christina and her family beciase they were a wealthier family

They lived in Dallas for 7 years before moving to Omaha, Nebraska for a new job opportunity for Carlos

They did not like Omaha because the people were so closed minded

They spent 3 and a half years in Omaha before moving to Lafayette, Colorado where they currently reside

Carlos found a great job in Colorado and Christina loves raising her family here because of the safety Colorado provides

All of Christina's migration was voluntary and most of the time it was international migration as well

The pull factors for Christina and Carlos were always new job opportunities and a safer home for their children

The major push factor for Christina and Carlos was the violence in Mexico which could affect their children's lives. The kids would have needed body guards and a chauffeur to go out and Christian did not want them to have to deal with that

The Veraza family loves living in Colorado and have Just sent their first son, Charlie to college while Jorge and Sophia still attend dawson school
