Circumstances Dad and Education

west: Like many immigrants headed west, you were driven by your own set of dreams and circumstances, according to Huffington Post Canada. Dad, for you it was the opportunity to leave communist Poland. You chose Canada. You knew that barring a run through minefields or rowing a boat to Sweden, heading abroad to pursue an education would be your best shot at escaping and moving forward in life, It was a way to avoid winding up like your parents' generation -- bitterly stuck in a country with few opportunities. You didn't know what the future would hold for the two of you, but you similarly aimed to gain an education in the west and forge the future you wanted for your family. Mom, you left the only home you knew in Warsaw to join a man you fell in love with during an excursion among the lakes of Masuria. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
