Sometimes we forget people are important. You never know when someone might be  taken away from you. Don't ever forget to cherish someone. Right now many people are getting deported and it's sad. Many kids are losing their parents and are most likely never going to see them. One of my friend’s cousins were deported. They weren't so close but they did talk every once in a while.  My friend learned that the struggles we go through can teach us to value people.

The first step of being deported is getting arrested. When someone gets arrested they go to jail afterward. In this case, this person went to court. Deciding what to do with someone on the first day of the court is difficult so nothing really happened that day. After court, he went back to jail. The family tried to bail him out but it didn't work. This was because it cost too much money.  At this point, it was time to try something else.

The first thing that came to mind was marrying an American citizen to see if he could stay.  Everyone was in such a rush that he just married a random girl. She agreed to marry him because she wanted to help him in any way possible.  They had a little ceremony and both said: “I do”. Now they are married. No one really knew who she was. He only met the girl once and got married on the second day they met.  They saw each other for the first time in court. Then the next time he went to court she said she would marry him. Things weren't going so well and nothing went the way it was supposed to. Marrying the girl was completely useless.  The court said that he couldn't stay.   When things don't go as planned it seems like everything goes wrong. Everyone had very little hope that things were going to turn out as planned.

Things don't always get solved the first time in court so he went to court again. Things didn't go so well at that time either. At court, this family found out he was going to get deported. One of the family members dropped off his things in Detroit. A few days passed, and he was gone. He was deported and dropped off in Mexico.

Sometimes people don't value each other until it is too late. At some point in our lives, we will go through something we cant fix. Family is important even if we might not talk to them much. It's ok to argue with someone but you have to forgive them. Be kind to everyone you have and cherish them. You never know if it is the last time you are going to see someone.  Just because someone seems and looks happy doesn't mean that their life is perfect. When you lose someone, you look back at all your amazing memories together and feel like you just lost the world.
