Wortwörtlich (140): Saras Vater

Schnell vergisst man, dass in Konzernen Menschen arbeiten und Weltanschauungen bisweilen Anhalt in der Wirklichkeit haben. Und noch rascher übersieht man, welchen Unterschied ein wenig Gemeinsinn macht. Umso schöner ist diese kleine Geschichte aus dem Jahr 1995, die Syambra Moitozo in einer vorweihnachtlichen Erinnerung überliefert. Sie lohnt die komplette Lektüre. Hier der Beginn:

„I grew up in Silicon Valley two decades before it was cool enough to be the title of a show on HBO. My parents were conventional hippies who drove Volvos donned with Save Tibet and Question Authority bumper stickers. The public elementary school I went to in the Santa Cruz Mountains had only 30 kids in the 5th grade. No matter their livelihoods or income levels, whether they were on food stamps or had enough money to get their kids their own miniature drivable Power Wheels Jeeps for Christmas – the parents would help out in whatever ways they could. My dad would take our class on nature walks while another girl’s mom led our Girl Scout troop. In 5th grade, we’d stay after school so my friend Sara’s dad could teach us about computers.
Sara’s dad happens to be Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple.“
