bedtime stories: I remember all of the bedtime stories being read to me before I closed my eyes to sleep, according to Huffington Post Canada. But I also remember at times not always feeling like I was doing enough to make them proud. I remember the times my dad would take me on bike rides to the library, then we'd scoot over to Baskin Robbins for a scoop of my favourite ice cream. When it comes to most children of immigrant parents, our childhood experience often differs from those of our friends whose parents grew up in Canada. I wanted so badly to make them proud. And for those of us who grew up in a Caribbean household, that sometimes meant we wouldn't regularly hear our parents utter the words we so often craved to hear -- "I'm proud of you." When I was younger I craved the approval of my parents.
