[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately though, today our kids have technology so reading to escape isn’t happening. My mother was not allowed an education beyond elementary school. She left home at 14, went to a nursing school. She started with basic nursing, then midwife, then public health. Received a Bachelors and Masters and then applied for a work visa in the US. Came here by herself in the 60s with no family support and knowing no one. I definitely think those living in other non 1st world countries have much more grit and determination along with much better coping skills. I feel like I have a good amount from being raised by my mom (though not as much as her) but it is even less so now with my kids. Living with the comforts of a first world country just doesn’t make the same types of citizens. There is no perfect place and with advantages comes disadvantages. [/quote]
