I am from a girl who taught her parents how to be American. I am from a time when a woman was told, “you can’t graduate from college with honors AND be married with child.” A woman who breaks barriers at work and at home. I am from a woman whose kitchen is the heart, where no one leaves hungry and what is served is the most delicious. I am from a woman who knows Love and models how to Love unconditionally. I am from a woman of intellect who teaches me courage and strength and grace…
