My uncle was given an opportunity to teach Mathematics at a local college in NYC in the 70s. He was one of 14 children in his family from Bihar, India. He built a life in Queens and soon after was able to bring my father to the states so he can find opportunities for work. My mother soon came to the states after they got married. The cultural struggle was real. They found it hard to adjust beyond the language differences. I was born in Ny and raised in the states... but will never forget what my parents endured to live a stable life in the US.
