Translation:
Hello, mom?

Background:
My parents immigrated to the U.S. almost 20 years ago. During my time here at Smith, I often think of them. While it was hard to get adjusted to this new environment, I wonder how much harder it was for them to leave home forever and move to a new country with different customs and language.
