Well, my daddy built a restaurant business in which I started bussing tables at 12 working in my free time from school. Where others pursued sports, I worked and enjoyed spending the money I earned and developed a work ethic early on. I also learned that the restaurant business wasn't for me. He made his own steak sauce and salad dressing and marketed it commercially besides serving it in his restaurant.
He rented a section of a 3 section building. The front 2 faced the street like would be used for a retail establishment, but we made salad dressing in our section led by mom. In the rear was an automotive repair garage and machine shop. I can't tell you how many times mom came back there, grabbed me buy the ear and led me back into our side to do what I was supposed to be doing...making salad dressing.
I always felt bad about that (not carrying on the business) especially seeing dads whose offspring carried on their businesses.....I admire latinos especially for their family unity along those lines......but I just couldn't get enthused about it. I pursued electromechanical dreams and had a great time.
