    My grandparents and family talked to me about education. My dad told me a story about an elder who was very proud of his new toolbox filled with tools. Every day his children would ask to use the tools in his box and he said: "No, not today, I am saving these for a special occasion." As his children grew older they continued to ask for the tools but again he said: "these tools were being saved for the right occasion." Finally the children gave up asking for the tools. One day many years later, the grandfather thought that it was time to open the box of tools and use them. As he opened the box, with children and now grandchildren looking on, he saw that the tools were rusty. He picked up the wrench but it crumbled in his hands.

My father sent me a letter saying to “study hard so I can achieve my future dreams.” In the same letter, he warned me saying, “ your troubles on your journey will learn you a little of what your are to expect to meet with in life.” My studies included grammar, writing, logic, mathematics, and geography. My dad also told me to learn as little Greek as possible, as it would not help me in life. I successfully made it through school, including college.

I had lived with my mother until the age of 5, who loved me but never had the time to sit with me and help me learn to read and do math problems. My mom migrated to America and I moved in with my Aunt who valued education above all. I recall my aunt asking me what was 3 times three and I could not answer, then she asked my sister who proudly shouted 9. I think that was the first time I felt shame and I knew that I never wanted to feel like that again. I did not know this at that time but this was the beginning of my belief that those who were not ‘traditionally’ smart were inferior. I studied hard for a week

They worked long hours to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I will always be grateful for their hard work however, working all the time left little time for help with school and education was not an emphasis in our household. Neither of my parents graduated high school and they did not understand the work it took to have great grades and be involved in after school programs.
