What do my parents do for a living? My dad is an advertiser. What an advertiser does is they help people who are trying to sell a product or a service. So for most of his life, he has worked with different companies and businesses, helping them right advertisements that would then be used in print or over the radio, or on a billboard on the side of the freeway. So he's worked his whole life doing that. He used to own a small business. And in the business, he hired an artist.
This artist would draw and write funny things, maybe like a comic or a picture to help depict whatever was being sold. But when the world went more digital and there were more graphic design, artist and things went to computer, my dad had to let his artists go. He also didn't really have a need for his salesmen because everything was done online. And so my dad was able to do most of that by himself. So he spent his whole career working with other people and trying to help them sell and did that through a lot of recordings, a lot of writing and selling the business that way.
My mom, she is a teacher. She taught a class called home economics. What that means is she would help kids, more like teenagers, learn how to cook food, learn how to sew, learn how to do things like nutrition. Learn how to take care of children, things like that, things that will help you run a home when you're ready to do that. She did that when she was first married and then stopped teaching so that she could have a family. And then she picked it up again.
My mom is a really talented seamstress, which means she knows how to make clothes. She knows how to so and so for about the last 15 years, she's been working for a fabric store, where she helps people learn how to use their sewing machines and also to learn how to quilt, which means putting little tiny pieces of fabric together to make a bigger pattern. She's a really talented at this.
