Same old story. Parents escaped Vietnam War by the skin of their teeth, came here dirt poor. When my parents got here, believe it or not, one of the ways to make money on the side was to go hunting for worms so they could sell them as live bait - they’d go out with their friends every couple of nights to do this.

People who grew up in my neighbourhood, which was mostly made up of poor immigrants from similiar situations as my parents did not have many ways to escape it. You’d either have to be an awesome athlete, have some artistic talent, get involved in crime or work your butt off in school.
