I bring that up to say that my mother started applying for New York City jobs.
She got a job as a substitute teacher.
When she got here from Columbia, she was able to get her student visa.
She got her master's and she got into the Department of Education.
She learned English very fast.
She has a heavy accent still, but she maintains and she floats through.
She's helping ESL students come in.
So she's gaining a lot of notoriety within the Department of Education.
My father is in basically building maintenance.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Building maintenance.
He also has his master's, but for some reason just can't get a decent job.
His English is not the best.
He gets into masonry and then he starts delving into construction where it's like granite and marble tops and things of that nature.
Around five or six, they start to get into heavy arguments.
I started to see this other kid.
I had my own room.
I was in a not great part of New York City.
I'm in Queens Village, the north side of Jamaica.
