She died when I was 16 and I just think no history books…

“She died when I was 16 and I just think no history books, nothing is ever going to talk about my grandmother. She was kind of invisible. She couldn't speak English so didn't have many friends. I think of her any time I think of the word 'sacrifice.'” quote by Lee Isaac Chung
