Reflection

At first, I really did wanted to focus this project on how my dad came to America. I knew some of his story growing up but for this project I needed to ask more. During that process he became super ill and very weak. To give a little background, both of my parents have cancer and has had it for quite awhile. My mom is better now but my dad I don't have the slightest clue. His case was so bad that they don't want to tell me so I don't worry. Regardless, my mom asked me to stop bothering him with questions and to leave him be during the time he was very weak. I thought to myself, what could I do? Then it hit me, what did my parents do for me when they were sick, cook me comfort food. Growing up, eating rice porridge was sort of medicinal and helped me when I was sick. So that inspired my idea of cooking for my dad! I learned that I need to work hard, just like my dad. He still gets up and works all that he cans to provide for my family, even when he is sick. I respect him and my mom a lot.
