My father is a very traditional‚ conservative‚ religious man. A product of his time‚ upbringing‚ and culture. Abandoned by his mother‚ neglected by his father‚ and raised by an aunt who already had too many children of her own‚ my father has always had to fend for himself. From an early age he had to start working‚ I was once told by him that in the absence of his father‚ he looked up to his bosses for a role model. A lot of them were drunks and chauvinist.

Eighteen years ago‚ my parents moved to the United States from Ukraine to create a better life for our family. Growing up here I found myself becoming easily accustomed to the American ways‚ but even though my family and I may have gotten used to that way of life we never lost sight of our Ukrainian culture.
