Almost a century ago, my great-great-great grandparents left Poland to pursue a better life in the United States. Without them, I wouldn't be here.]]> 2018-01-22 21:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tcovone1/e1l5ji6hgonv/wish/223570522 tcovone1 https://padlet.com/tcovone1/e1l5ji6hgonv/wish/223574342 Those four aforementioned virtues are four of the values that I hold most dear to myself.

Around the same time as my Polish great-great-great grandparents came to America, by Italian relatives on my dad's side were doing the very same thing!]]> 2018-01-24 01:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tcovone1/e1l5ji6hgonv/wish/224057569
