What were your parents doing at your age?

So, here I am, cruising through my 30s in the Windy City, taking a sec to reflect on how the old folks were rolling in their 30s. Picture this: one of my folks was rocking it as a teacher, while the other was diving deep into the tech game as a software engineer. Guess what? Life decided I should do a mashup of both – teachin’ and techin’, all in one crazy ride. The Teachin’ Game: One of my parents chose the noble path of being a teacher back in the day. They were all about molding young minds, dropping knowledge bombs, and sparking that love for learning. I’m doing the same gig now, standing in their shoes and passing the torch to the next gen. It’s wild how teaching is like a family tradition, and I’m all in. Tech Hustle: Now, the other parent was deep in the tech jungle, rocking the software engineer title in their 30s. I bet they were riding the waves of tech evolution, making things happen in the digital world. Fast forward to me – I’m knee-deep in code and tech vibes, soaking in the progress since their days. Their tech legacy is alive and kickin’, and I’m just following the script in my own way. Irony in the Mix: Life’s got a sense of humor, right? The twist in my story is that I’m juggling both sides of the coin – teaching and tech. It’s like being a mixtape of education and innovation, and I’m vibing with it. Who would’ve thought I’d end up rocking the same gigs as my folks? But hey, it’s a cool kinda irony that keeps me connected to the roots. Teaching and tech are my daily grind, and I’m proud to carry the legacy they passed down. Life’s a crazy sequence of code, and I’m just playing my part in this family remix, where the irony is the secret sauce that keeps the rhythm alive. Cheers to hacking life -Bodega
