My mothers first job was as a banker. She tells me that they would play card games on their computers whenever their boss wasn't paying attention. When she moved to Winnipeg, she then worked at a care home. My dad's first job was as a construction worker but then moved on to be an entrepreneur. He currently owns four businesses in Regina and works hard in all of them.
I learned a lot about the origins of my family and what they have gone through from my great great grandparents all the way to me. I have seen that many things that impacted my parents and grandparents do not affect me thanks to sacrifices they have made. I am thankful that I was able to dig deeper into learning more about my identity surrounding my family.
