Straight out of high school I started working at this factory as a knit machine operator. I am now 34 years old and have been doing this same job for 16 years.

My husband is a security guard here, and we met at the factory. We live with our 9 year old son at a nearby village. My family has lived here for generations and watched this poor farming community transform into a factory city.
