Our Economically Unbalanced World

Being born an Army brat, I was lucky to have received my American citizenship at birth given that I was born in Landstuhl Army Hospital, Kaiserslautern, Germany (known to the Americans as “K Town”). My father was in the Army, and met my mom in Berlin. She hardly spoke English when he met her, and therefore German was my first language!

My father received orders for Fort Leonard Wood, MO, then we were sent back to Germany once again, and were stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany where I attended school until 2nd grade. I remember having a German Tudor that would sit next to me in school until I was in 3rd grade to help me be the English speaking expert that I am today! My father retired in New York, and chose to buy a house in the Fort Leonard Wood area where I pretty much grew up. I, in turn became a German Dominant Language Tutor myself when I graduated high school, and helped other children in need for a few years.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have become an American citizen in the manner I was, having been born overseas. I’m sure everyone has heard about the Vietnamese immigrant in New York who just took the lives of 13 people before killing himself. This is the fifth deadly mass shooting in the U.S. in the past month. 44 people have have lost their lives in the past month’s attacks. It’s rather apparent that no matter where you are, you are no longer safe in this economically unbalanced world. Just going to the grocery store to do your weekly shopping could turn deadly.
