It's not like you come in and you're set, you're done, you're good. It's a continuous struggle every day, if not every hour. It's never an advantage. And it's very rarely, if ever, a choice. And I think it is so in Morgantown, West Virginia as well.
I just want people to know that we all come from a place of our childhood, our heritage, and we want to incorporate it with you. We don't want to be separate. We want to belong with you. We don't want to be 'like' you — we want to be us still — but we want to incorporate it. Just like the beautiful melting pot America is, or once was. We're all here for different reasons, and nobody's better than the other person.
More stories coming soon.
