 In 1908, my great-grandmother first arrived in this country, and she had few possessions and little money. Then she found a friend living in a small apartment with a few other women, so they roomed together, and my great-grandmother found a job. The next year, my great-grandmother met my great-grandfather; they fell in love and were married within a matter of months. After that, they paid to rent out a small apartment while they worked hard and saved money, eventually saving enough to open their own business.
