While there is nothing inherently wrong with a janitorial position, and in fact my forefathers and foremothers were able to attend college because many of their parents worked these jobs, it was a clear attempt to put me in my place.
Il n'y a rien de négatif à faire partie du personnel d'entretien. Mes aïeuls ont pu recevoir une éducation, parce que leurs parents ont rempli ces fonctions. Il s'agissait de me remettre à ma place.
