[quote=Anonymous]My Mom is somewhat of a self made person. 1) born in 1920s on a farm in Ireland one five whose father died when he was only 42 2 Great Depression and WWII was her childhood growing up in poverty. 3) At 14 thrown out of House as older brother took over farm and with no HS or home managed to make it to Dublin to be a maid/nanny scrubbing and cleaning. 4) made it to America in her late 20s in a SRO rooming house as a waitress. 5) got married at 32 to a man who turned out to be a violent alcoholic she had four kids with who left her a penniless young widow with four kids 6) managed to get a job in a fortune 100 company, do HS at night, buy a new car and her own home all in her 50s and early 60s getting all four kids through grad school. And in retrospect my Mom making it to America made her luckier than most folks on the world. Mere fact you were allowed to live at home and graduate HS makes you privileged [/quote]
