Mission, Texas is my home my family lived here for about 7 generations to the point where I grew up in my widowed grandmother's family-owned gas station five minutes from the Mexican border. We provided food and fuel at all hours of the day and serviced all walks of life from my grandmother's gas station in Mission. Mission is a beautiful place.

It is a very small town if you’re not related to someone in some way there’s a chance you’re related to their cousin, aunt, uncle, or grandparent. Considering the fact that there isn’t too much in Mission it is still a very bustling city there’s construction workers on every corner, the streets are full, vendors outside of every store selling cupped corn, candy apples, anything that can be sold to put food on the table. It’s very welcoming some nights say it’s not all that nice, but it’s home to many and open to all that come. There is always work being done, it is our little “fixer upper” but one thing that could use more attention is the homelessness of not only the people but animals as well. Stray animals fill the streets and there are so many people trying to make a living in the street to get money together for their families. One thing for sure is that this is a city of hustle day and night.
There are many families located in mission due to available sources that are accessible to many citizens. These resources include doctor offices, supermarkets, police stations, fire departments, etc. There are job opportunities as well in Mission that vary, these jobs would be like fast food, nursing, retail, car maintenance, construction, janitors/cleaners, etc. The schools are pendent on their students and help them have the best experience, many of the schools try their best to help students overcome difficulties in their studies and home life, always ensuring the safety of their students. Overall Mission is a very good place for families.
