Description
My grandmother came to America as a young woman in the early 1920's. My grandfather, who had his own small hair salon business, died at an early age leaving my grandmother to raise her two children on the wages of a waitress. Nevertheless, through hard work, and with tremendous courage and self-sacrifice, she was able to buy a home and raise her children to pursue their dreams.
My grandmother made it possible for her children to pursue the American dream. But today, too many families are not able to realize that dream.
Recently, at the end of a beautiful spring day, I got on an elevator in an office building with a middle-aged woman and her cleaning cart. I asked her if she had been able to enjoy the nice day before coming to work. She replied: "Oh no, I had to rush here from my first job. I didn't have the time." Like this woman, there are too many families having to work two jobs just to make ends meet. Too many families are struggling to raise their children. Too many families have to worry about their children's safety and the education they are receiving.
