One of the many reasons why I came back was that I did not was to continue being in a factory the rest of my life. I saw all my co-workers who are older and I definitely didn't want to be an old factory worker. At my current job, there is always room to advance and move up in the company, so that is why I choose going to school for business management because I eventually want to be in the office. The most important reason why I decided to further my education is because I want to be a positive role model to my son Kaleb and show him that college is something you need to do to further your goals and accomplish dreams in life. Yes, I have had many obstacles that crossed my path but I want him to see that I didn’t just settle for less and that I am in charge of being able to accomplish my dreams and goals.
Ian loved not knowing a single soul when he was there. “What had struck him most forcibly was the fact that when he walked down the street he hadn’t known anyone.” Pg 20. He found it liberating.

It was hot sunny day on October 24th, 1987 in southern India - the day of my birth. I was born in a hospital right down the street from my grandparents' house and was taken there soon after my birth. I would live here for a few months while my father traveled the world in search for work - in order to provide the opportunities for his child. Opportunities that he had missed out on growing up in a small village in south India. My father was true believer of hard work and put himself through medical school.
He was a year ahead of me. After he graduated he left for home, Minnesota, but he moved back to Maine not even three months later. To be with me. I offer this as the only proof I have that moving together to North Carolina was not really such a bad decision. Not long after we moved, though, it would become clear that he was only there because he had come up with no better plan for himself.
He immigrated from Denmark in 1870. He couldn't find a job. After three years of struggling with poverty, Jacob finally found an employment and was recruited by the South Brooklyn news, but his career really moved forward when he became a police reporter for the “New York Tribune” in 1877.

Before I finished the high school, I started to work for a big tools company as a salesman helper (where I learned many new things). After one year I had, the opportunity to become a salesman. That job gave me many opportunities to continue studying because I had a flexible schedule.

I was born in a small town in Puerto Rico called Santa Isabel. My parents knew each other growing up before they got married; pretty much everyone knew each other. Finding a Job was tough as everyone competed with each other, unless you wanted to work on the farms, as most of my older generation did. My parents decided to moved to the United States, for bigger opportunities,
Pickton didn't do particularly well in school, and was made fun of by the other children because of his poor hygiene and the fact that he frequently smelled like hog manure. Robert had developed a fear of showers because his mother insisted on taking baths only. Pictkon always wore his trademark knee-high gum boots because of all the mud, pig manure and slaughtering operations on the farm. Robert’s mother looked out for him in particular, as she knew he had a harder time that her other offspring. As he grew older, Pickton frequently skipped school to stay home on the farm.
“Here comes the carnival,” they’d say. They weren’t able to keep themselves clean on their way into town because they had to go by dirt road. Being ostracized, they were shunned by society as nothings and ridiculed. They worked so hard and tried to keep up with school but would be way too tired, they fell asleep in class and would get sent home with notes about being inattentive. This wasn’t their fault.
