WORKING HARD TO STUDY

But just securing admission in a college in the US was not the end of Indar’s struggle. He had to find ways of earning his keep while working hard at his work. He lived the immigrant life, working at whatever job he could get to ensure that he was able to keep his tuition coming, pay his rent and keep food on his table. Recalling those days, he now says, “I did manual labor while in school. I picked fruit in orchards. I worked on farms. I was a bus boy in restaurants. I cleaned homes and classrooms. I did any work that came my way, all at $1.25/hour.” Indar kept on providing financial support to his family for their living and educational expenses starting from his first farm earnings here in USA.
