Growing up in a three-bedroom house with my mom and grandparents, we navigated a dynamic where all three played parental roles while balancing different jobs. There was immense pressure on me to exceed their achievements. As I pursued higher education and career opportunities, I couldn’t shake the awareness of the sacrifices my family made for me. My mom, especially, put her dreams on hold to raise me, while my grandparents worked tirelessly in various fields. Their aspirations for me became intertwined with my own, shaping my drive to succeed. Though grateful for their support, the weight of their expectations sometimes felt overwhelming.
