I read the first essay by Garg then googled the mom.
She's actually kind of funny and I find the outcome really inspiring. And her humor is rather clean in comparison to what's on stage these days. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/18/your-money/college-essays-on-money.html |

| Share the mom's name so that we can also read about her--or is this just an attempt to get folks to sign up for the NYT ? |

Why? I subscribe to the WSJ. And when I link to WSJ articles, I always summarize for those who do not have subscriptions. But you do you. |

And thank you for doing this. WSJ is great. |

Because you are considerate and offer the world a contrast to the poster you responded to. |
