Is this humble beginnings? My mom was a county clerk and my dad was an unemployed alcoholic, when I write my memoir do I say i rose from squalor?
One quip:
“Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on January 12, 1964,[17] the son of Jacklyn (née Gise) and Theodore Jorgensen.[18] At the time of Jeffrey's birth, his mother was a 17-year-old high school student and his father was 19 years old.[19] Theodore Jorgensen had ancestry from Denmark and was born in Chicago to a family of Baptists.[20] After completing high school despite challenging conditions, Jacklyn attended night school while bringing Jeffrey along as a baby.[21] After his parents divorced, his mother married Cuban immigrant Miguel "Mike" Bezos in April 1968.[22] Shortly after the wedding, Mike adopted four-year-old Jeffrey, whose surname was then legally changed from Jorgensen to Bezos.”
