I’m spoiled… my grandfather did this for us.

i'm not spoiled, i'm the first person in my family to get a BA

 

[cw_]

i made that happen by sheer force of will and the inheritance of my parent's brains

Welcome to the club. It happens a lot.

Especially a minority female that's short. I was underestimated my whole life. It became a secret weapon.

My grandfather had a masters in math from UCLA

 

[Lily]

I was second in my family to get a masters. My cousin got one first. My grandmother told her, good, but "lily" had more obstacles to overcome.

My father had no degree and worked for IBM as computer god and took great care of his family

Mine parents had high school diplomas, that's it. They were blue collar workers.

My dad did an apprenticeship in his uncle’s machine shop… he was an EDM specialist in plastics

[Murdy]

My grandfather and great uncles started an aerospace company that’s still in business

 

[Lily]

That's terrific. My dad eventually got certified to work in water systems and was responsible for chlorinating water in the desert communities near Palm Springs.
