This interviewee requested to remain anonymous. Since moving to the United States seven years ago, she has been working part-time in Stanford's dining halls. She currently rents in Palo Alto with her boyfriend and kids.
"It’s most important [to have] education because I never go to school, and... education needs is most important. This why I came to the United States, and I need - my kids need education. That’s why I come in this place and this country... Because everybody said that Palo Alto has good schools, good people, everything is good...
Renting is very hard, and then I applied two times the low-income house. They say it takes a long time... and that I can’t get the low-income house. And then that’s it... I told, “How long?” They say, “We don’t know. Maybe longer, longer, longer, 10 or 15 years. Maybe short, I don’t know.” And that means everybody's busy, right?...
Whenever they have a job, my job, I do this... Clean, whatever I do, and that’s it. I’m not asking extra things - nothing. Whatever they say you do, “Okay, thank you.” That’s it."
