Conformity: Grandma Cont.

My grandma was afraid of the talk of war that was arousing between North and South Korea.  She had experienced the Korean war, and wanted her 7 children to have a better and safer life.  She had the opportunity to immigrate to America, because her sister already resided there.  My grandma had a difficult time integrating with the american society due to her incapability of speaking english.  She felt some prejudices due to her lack of communication (Didn't speak english) but she successfully ran a market and created a stable environment for her children.  She strongly stressed receiving a good education because she wanted her children to have economic opportunities.
