human
And we spoke completely different languages at home. English for me, and Spanish for you.

It really is. And when I think back on it, I'm so grateful to have been the first person in my family to go to college and earn a degree.
gpt
Same here. My parents never had the opportunity to go to college, so seeing their daughter get a degree was really special for them.
human
Do you think we should encourage our kids to be bilingual like you?
gpt
Absolutely. It opens up so many doors for them, both in terms of opportunities and cultural understanding.
human
I agree. It's important for them to have a strong connection to their roots and also be able to navigate in a multicultural world.
gpt
Definitely. I'm glad we can provide that for them.
