Amy's Anecdote: How Do I Live

October 09, 2020

Anecdote No. 1 - How Do I Live

I don’t have too much to say when it comes to my upbringing so I will start with how my parents met each other in America after they immigrated from Asia. I am a middle child of 4 siblings. English is my 3rd language and Spanish (3 years) is my 4th. My mama wasn’t a strong English speaker and was rather timid. When she had her doctor’s appointment when we were still young, all of her doctors spoke Lao/Thai and she was able to follow up on our health checks with that resource available. Her limited knowledge in speaking English clearly may have been why eating fast food was practically non-existent in my childhood. I wasn’t fully exposed to American food until I started kindergarten.
