Linda G. Alvarado and I share many virtues that are alike, but we both demonstrated a lot perseverance . As I looked through the biography of many wonderful people, I found that Linda G. Alvarado and I have strikingly similar hardships. We both come from families with critical financial needs and our parents also have high expectations for us. My dad always tell me that I cannot work because he just want me to focus on my education.

From her dictating mother-in-law to parts of the American population, opposition for her battle against inequality

She had to tolerate working in fields to make money that then fed her at night.

Imagine being in Japan for a week on vacation with a group of friends, and one day decided to go to the oldest zoo in Japan, Ueno Zoo. To get to Ueno Zoo, riding the bullet train was a necessity, except knowing which line was the correct line, when to get off the bullet train, or even which ticket to buy was a daunting task.
