I am seeing a success story despite hardship. From my experience, I would like to mention that our grandparent's generation was different and they belonged from a different mentality due to cultural and societal barriers. My grandmother was stubborn and always tried to keep us away from doing something in life and as a result, I was suffering a lot. I always wished that back then somebody could told me not to pay attention to her words and to follow my heart... Great writing and thanks for sharing your personal experience with us...
