I think of how different my life is compared to my parents’, and theirs before them. My grandfather carried sacks of rice and spices as a day laborer. My grandmother sewed things for pennies. My dad could not afford to go to college even though he’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, but he found a very technical career (making dentures) and he did that his entire career. My mom was a maternity nurse who could bathe many babies at once. I got to do everything that I do on the backs of spices, seams, fake teeth and baby baths.
