6 more to add...

69. Do you see a thorough line to your grandparents?

Yes. I can draw the family tree that starts with both sets of my grandparents and goes through my uncles, aunts cousins, parents and my sibling. even though I can draw the family tree, I don't know all of my relatives by face because I haven't met all of them.

70. Were you close to them?

Unfortunately, I wasn't close to my grandparents. I never met my father's parents because they died when he was very young and I only met my mother's mom when I visited her in Malaysia in 7th grade. Some people are lucky enough to have grandparents who live in this country or even in the same city as them. They can visit their grandparents basically anytime they want. I have to take a 20 hour plane ride to see my one grandparent.

87. Do you think society makes a big deal of..... Of divorce?
We were talking about this subject in class. The statistic is that at least fifty percent of all marriages end up in divorce. Divorce nowadays is not that big of a deal. Back in the days of our grandparents, it was looked down upon for people to get divorced; it was highly discouraged. I feel like it is now socially accepted to divorce. In a class of 30 students, you can find at least 3-5 students whose parents are divorced. I guess it's not really "til death do us part".

146. Would you expect your spouse or your child to ‘get up and move with you’? For the next best job?


If it is my dream job or career, then yes. I would get up and move if I didn't have my dream job but my spouse was about to get one. Family comes first and staying together is important. Getting up and moving for a dream job is understandable.

147. To keep a job?


It depends on the job. If it is absolutely necessary, then I would expect them to move. But if my spouse had a decent, stable job then I would let the job go and try to find another one.


148. To even be employed?

Yes, if it means being employed then definitely yes because it is out of necessity. In a time of recession and a high unemployment rate, it is very important to be employed. If either move and keep the job or be jobless and have no money. You can't live comfortably if you don't have a job.
