On the other side, his parents were in very difficult situation, they did not have good jobs and they couldn’t help their children. His mother did part time jobs, sometimes she would clean other people houses, and sometimes she was working in local coffee shop, sometimes she worked in a fast food restaurant. In other word, his mother did any kind of jobs, just to save money for her children.
His father was in same situation and Terrence remembers that sometimes he would change two or three jobs in week. He was a laborer, so he often worked outside of the city and his children did not have a chance to see him often. Terrence was a child in this age and he did not notice how much his parents were scarifying and how difficult they were living. He describes his childhood in Bronx through two main hobbies.

When Terrence was 11 years old, his parents made a decision to go to other city in USA, his parent were thinking a lot about this decision, and they thought that this decision will help them to start a new, better life. However, for Terrence this decision was a nightmare, he didn’t want to move to completely new city, and he did not believe that this will help them to start a new life.
Despite his beliefs, after couple of months he and his family moved to Salt Lake City.
