While listening to this piece I was struck with how much these kids are having to give up in order to help their parents (non-English speaking immigrants) with seemingly trivial issues. As a servicemember who has lived abroad, I can sympathize with the parents. It was rough weening myself away from the base I was assigned to and feeling comfortable in asking simple questions and understanding the answers that came my way. But in the end - in order for me to get the most out of my experience, I had to take that leap. The one thing I was wondering at the end was: What did the parents feel about relying on their children so much...?
