 The thing that inspired me to have more compassion for my parents was really putting myself in their shoes. What is it like to send children to school in an environment that you have no idea about? What is it like to drop them off at 7am in the morning and pick them up at 3pm and don't know what they're exposed to in terms of their friendship network, in terms of the education that is being imparted onto them, in some cases imposed onto them? That gave me a lot more insight into some of the challenges that my parents were facing and maybe a bridge for us to start to communicate with each other.
