6. I don't think I could repeat my childhood in the States and
achieve the same results. In my adult-aware years I came to understand that my parents forfeited our childhoods in order to pay for our college tuition. Now, I recognize that I had a better childhood over seas under these circumstances than I could ever have had in the U.S. I can't even begin to imagine how terrible I would feel growing up here recognizing how much I was doing without. I was rich in so many ways that materalistic things don't motivate nor impress me.

But whatever I went through, my parents had it much, much worse. We are both where we are today because of their sacrifices.
