California Dreamin'

My paternal grandfather immigrated from Mexico to California and met my grandmother who was already in the states, had my father and raised him here. My mother, born and raised in Mexico met my father while he visited Mexico and they both came to live in San Jose. There's a discernible amount of dichotomy between the Trasks and Hamiltons, the Trasks (Adam, Charles, Cal, Aron) seem to have grown up in a rougher environment and seem more estranged from each other, as opposed to the Hamiltons who to me seem to exemplify the typical knit together family that overcome hardship together. Those who come to California seek opportunity and an environment of diversity with little to no discriminatory worry.
