The “how”

A question that has followed me throughout my family's journey as immigrants to the United States has been "how can I do __?". In my parent's vocabulary the word "No" did not exist when it came to opportunities to have a job to support the family. When asked "do you know how...?" my father's initial instinct was to confident affirm despite not actually knowing how. It did not matter that he did not know in the moment because he knew that he could learn how between then and the moment he had to do the job.
