Christian and his friend Angel Mendieta jump down into Boggy Creek in Govalle Neighborhood Park on April 17, 2009 in Austin. "Christian has really fought between doing good and doing bad." Marciela said. "He really doesn't wanna be there, he doesn't wanna follow their steps, but I think at the same time, the three closest males in his life have gone in that direction, and even though that I have been a good mother for him, and I've been a good role model, and I have been there to support him through everything, they just think, you know, that they have to follow that pattern."
