Well, I’m a woman who grew up in Dallas, Texas, which is in the southern part of the United States, in this Catholic family. I have three siblings and my parents worked very hard. It was not easy for them to put us through school.
My dad was an engineer, but from his salary and a little bit of business they had on the side, they always told us we would be college-going, no matter what.
