When Katherine Chon was in fifth grade, she drew a "dream tree" representing the path she hoped her life would take. One branch led to Harvard Medical School, Which is exactly what her mother had hoped for when the Chons moved to the U. S. from South Korea to give their three children opportunities.
Always a diligent student, Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown. But then she added a new limb to her dream tree—one that her mother still doesn’t understand. Shocked by the misfortune of some South Korean women, Katherine joined forces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project, now one of the largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country. "It was really hard for my parents," says Katherine. " They had so many life stresses so their children could get a great education and have a comfortable life. "
The dreams of parents and children often differ, but the conflict can be especially painful in first-generation immigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices. Lisa Park, an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, says that the focus of every family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for their children is almost always on the future, with little mention of the circumstances that compelled them to move. And even though the parents are the ones working 12-hour days, the children are also under intense pressure to perform in ways that will justify the parents’ sacrifice.
The contrast between parents’ dreams and children’s realities can be particularly sharp for daughters who have grown up with almost infinite opportunities. Their mothers often came from places where opportunities for women were limited, which makes the daughters’ choices even harder to understand. Mary Lugemwa’s parents encouraged her to study math or science at Harvard. She complied at first, majoring in computer science. But she is currently working as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media. " I sometimes feel guilty," she says, "having chosen to be an artist, because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background, 1 could help my parents a lot more. "
