[quote=Anonymous]My mom was the first in her immigrant family to graduate from college and has always stressed the importance of hard work and education in our family. She was a math major in college and then went on to a top MBA program, the only woman in her class. She became the first woman partner in her CPA firm and was financially very successful, much more so than my dad. For 8 months of the year she worked 40-50 hours a week and then during tax season it was usually 80+ hours and my siblings and I spent a lot of time with our grandparents through April. While my generation have chosen less stressful and lucrative careers I think the values she instilled have endured. We all have advanced degrees from top schools, we work hard, and we are all financially secure. My mom is trying to pass this on to the next generation by paying for all of her grandchildren’s education, k-12 private schools and college and grad school. It’s an incredible gift.[/quote]
