My ancestors on both sides came from India and China in the 17th/20th centuries as indentured laborers or in search of jobs. They had little education but worked hard as planters, plowmen, bread sellers to provide for their large families of 7-13 children. The hard work of generations enabled my grandparents and parents to get primary/some secondary education and achieve occupations like machinists or business owners. They prioritized educating their children, who have become professionals like engineers, teachers. Despite humble origins, perseverance across generations has led to educational and career advancement today.
