As the daughter of poor immigrants, I'm blessed! My parents came here with very little and did the best they could. Due to their beliefs and propaganda from their home country, I grew up very sheltered and was advised to stick with my own kind. But, by God, I was born in America, and since America was built on rebellion... I rebelled! I think I broke all of our social and religious beliefs, but I wanted to be an AMERICAN!! I fought to go to public school, I fought to get a job (instead of getting married and having 100 kids), and I fought to break away from the restraints of staying in my family's small world.
On my job, I met my husband, who was arguing with a coot over the coot hat he was wearing!🤣 My husband attended clemson and talked me into furthering my education, which opened many new doors for me.
Growing up I never knew anything about clemson or even about being an American, but now, I feel accepted and empowered. I'm so glad to be a tiger and American!
Clemson family is the best family! God bless you all!!❤️
