great things weren't going to be in my destiny.

Yeah.

Yeah, school, doing her residency and everything.

Yeah, I think as a kid, it was... You just know what you're living through.

So basically, my dad has a job with the state.

My mother is finishing her medical degree and her residency.

And then my sister is being raised by...

our grandparents in Delhi.

So both my grandfather and my grandmother are raising her.

And then when I'm eight, my grandparents were able to bring my younger sister back to the US.

She was born in the States, but then she went over there and she was raised by them.

And really what my parents were...

putting together was their version of the American dream.

It wasn't until later that I realized, oh, this was quite different than the way a lot of people grew up.

But also as an adult, I think the thing that I really seeped and I

maybe I'm making up for it in my life is I want our place to be the sleepover house.

Like I want our home and the situation for my children to be in and my nephews to be in is that they have a place that's always stable.

They don't have to constantly be in transit.

So, I mean, the thing that I'm trying to change is...

when you're a child of immigrants, everything that your parents have, basically like wealth, money, or opportunity is a depreciating thing.
