Core 7 Role Play Paper
Hard Work and Faith My name is Jeevan, which means life. I was given my name because of the problems my parents went through trying to have a child. My parents worked on having a child for many years. Doctors and family constantly told them that is was not likely to occur. I was essentially a miracle child. I was born in the city of Delhi, India. My parents were of the middle-class. My father was a business man who was highly respected. He was a very diligent worker but always would be there for me when I would need him. My mother decided to follow the non - traditional Indian woman life by working for a computer company answering phones for customer service. Both my parents

I spoke with father concerning all the pollution that plagued Delhi. He advised me that if I wanted to make a difference to go to college and learn ways to help the city. So college is where I went. I went to the best engineering school in Delhi, Delhi College of Engineering. I entered with the goal of finding a way to cut the amount of pollution in Delhi. I invented a water purifying system that would be able to purify the water that was being polluted by the industries four years after my education. With this innovation I was a step closer to helping the city with its pollution problem. The government of Delhi Pollution was very pleased with my work. They offered to send me to the United States to continue my studies and to bring back more innovation to stop the pollution in Delhi. I was starting to see how the incorporation of religion and hard work pays off. Karma had given me a tremendous opportunity. My next challenge was to find a way to tell my …show more content…
They worried of me being alone in a new country. I did my best to convince them that I would be safe and communicate with them as much as possible. My father gave me his blessing and the next week I travelled to the United States. The Delhi government was able to get me into the University of California - Berkeley. There I looked for ways to reduce pollution back home. I soon realized that this would be an extreme test of my skills and mind. School in America was tough for a variety of reasons like being away from home and being alone. I found a tutoring service at the university and immediately used it. Before long I was back on track and doing well in my studies. The biggest problem I faced was finding ways to continue my worship. I believed that living by Karma and Brahman my life come back together. I kept my promise of talking to my parents as often as possible and they told me how proud they were of me and that the water pollution in India had gotten better because of the water purification I worked
My mother, comparatively, did much better than my father in school. One of the reason’s she was a better student was because she had a lot of support from her friends. The friends that she hung out with were also family friends because my mother’s and their families enjoyed spending time together and were socially similarly structured. Her and her family lived in the same city since my mother was born, so she grew up with the same friends and attended the same school for years.
My parents always seemed to have a good relationship and worked together to raise a family even at their young
They are very strict to me and barely show me any love. I felt jealous of other people’s parents because their parents always show up to support
Despite the many hours I worked on the class, I still could only get C’s on the tests. I spent most of my free time correcting my quizzes and rewriting notes from the class. I was struggling- so much that I let my other classes slip away. At home, I would fight with my mother about my grades. She would yell at me saying, “Your brothers could always get As!
I was brought up in a very humble, family-oriented home. My parents never
In my immediate family, my grandmother and mother are the leaders. My mother provides for us through work and my grandmother kept me company and cooked for me. She would watch me when my mom was still at work when I got home from
The first eight years of my life, I spent in India where I was born. Growing up I was constantly reminded by my parents that I needed to make them proud by getting a good job and living a good lifestyle. They told me this because they did not want to see me live a hard life like they did. When I was nine years old, I moved from India to the United States of America. The reason why I moved to America was not because I was living a bad life in India, it was so that I could have a better education and more opportunities in life.
Such success stories are inspirational to perspective student studying and/or working in a STEM field.
Being raised in a single parent household my mother tried to take on both roles and raised me to become the man I am today. Always pushing to make A’s and B’s and be an honor roll for majority of my grade school career, and having me in school every day and
and they instilled their best efforts into providing the best education for me. They did not receive higher education and I was the first in my family.
My parents are immigrants from Mexico, they came here in search of the American dream. In the United States, they found each other. They came here with nothing and with that the motivation grew to succeed, to become everything they searched for. I have always known my father to be the most hard-working person I have ever encountered and my mother as well. My parents are an exquisite team.
The film "Dadi 's family" is about a family in Northern India. In the movie, we are introduced to a family that consists of a big extended family living in one household. This film explores the idea of family and the roles that women play in Dadi’s household. In the film, we are introduced to six roles that are performed in the day to day household. The six roles exposed in this film are the roles of women as a daughter, mothers, mothers-in-laws, daughters-in-laws, sister-in-laws, and sisters.
Coming from a low income family, living in a small town in India, I learned early on about struggling and surviving those struggles. I watched my parents working day and night to provide for electricity, pay for our monthly school fees so my sister and I can have a better education, and for the future they wished upon for their children. To further enhance this vision, my father decided for the family and I to immigrate to the US. Everything was different in the sense that I changed schools, learned a new language, had to make new friends, and learned the different culture. I had to adapt to a whole new world, which was a little difficult at 6 years old
My Childhood was pretty different than how I live today. I’m a part of a middle class family with two little sisters. Since I am still in high school, I haven’t experienced that much to say that my social class has changed a lot; However, I have watched my father grow in the company he works for. He has worked his way through many barriers created by “elite” people that doubted his intelligence. He had opened a door to many different opportunities such as working for Google and Apple.
No matter what the circumstances were my parents worked wherever for however long to give us the life we deserved. When my siblings and I were little, my mom would stay home and take care of us and my dad worked two jobs. My mom always told me that my dad would never complain about working, just as long as he could afford to keep a roof over our head and food on the table, he was happy. My father would even come home late nights play with us and I loved every moment of it. As my siblings and I got older my mom went back into the workforce and just like my dad would work as long as she could every day.
