My dad is from Punjab, while my mom is from  Delhi. My dad first came to America in the early 1990´s after college. He decided to come to America for a better future, and for his kids. He didn´t want his kids to live in India since California's lifestyle is better than India´s. India is stricter and has lesser opportunities for kids and for young adults. ]]> 2022-10-20 21:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ggapusan2/2rjh4a9vg02omlm5/wish/2349739085 https://padlet.com/ggapusan2/2rjh4a9vg02omlm5/wish/2349740033 I'm originally from Hayward, CA. My parents are also from Hayward, CA. They decided to move to Stockton because some of my family members lived in Stockton. My parents wanted to be closer to my other relatives so they decided to move to Stockton. They lived  there for most of their lives until about 8 years ago.
