That was an interesting story erti.

My mom and dad only had trade school education (after finishing high school). My dad moved states, to here, and worked as a technical engineer for 45 years making chips for nasa and Apple. Making 6 figures for a short period of time, but usually 90k. My mom had her own cosmetology business as an esthetician.

Which is part of the reason why I strive to do a lot. My dads family is pretty educated. Doctors, teachers, writers, musicians, etc. My dads aunt is a tv judge like how judge Judy is. One of my cousins was a drummer for lil Wayne.

My moms family...ugh man. Overkill. My cousins on my moms side....doctors, nurses, a well known painter, etc. My cousin works for NASA. My other cousin works for Facebook. My grandpa was a professor at UC Berkeley for some years and then headed the city (where he lived) health department.

On and on. I’m one of the few that doesn’t have anything under my belt. A little college (that I hope to finish. I HOPE) and some published work. Etc. I’m honestly the black sheep of both sides of the family. My cousins don’t reach out to me, not on my moms side anyway. I’ve tried but they don’t keep in contact. Oh well!
