WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000 When we first came here, my dad, he went to 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.000 school--back to school to get like an engineering degree, 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.000 then he had like a few different jobs, you know? 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000 And then, his last--the last thing he did before we moved was 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.000 he bought a motel and you know he 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.000 ran that motel for, I don't know, I want to say maybe two or three years? We were 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000 there and then my parents made the decision to move 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.000 back to India. I think that they were missing India 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.000 they were missing their family and like my mom has six 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.000 brothers and sisters and then and my father has like seven 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.000 brothers and sisters, so you know, there's just like tons of 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000 family back in India. And, you know, so my dad, yeah, he 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.000 sold the motel he sold our car, like everything. Everything 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.000 that we had in America we moved back to India. 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.000 But, um, we moved back because my parents quickly realized that like, you 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.000 know, life in India wouldn't be easy for us, you know? 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.000 Like getting your child into a good school. It's not, 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.000 you know, it's not a set process like it is 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.000 here. It's like you have to kind of know 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.000 someone there. You know, you have to kind of go 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.000 through people and, and maybe pay someone off, 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.000 you know. And, um, I think that they, after coming back, 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000 quickly realized, and now having something to compare it to, 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.000 we wouldn't have the same opportunities as we do in 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000 America. So we ended up coming back and starting from scratch again! *chuckles*
