learn to laugh at yourself - it's always better than crying

About Me


you can have control of your life, you just have to want to. yes i am a killing field survivor - you don't know what that is - go look it up. it will only expand your knowledge lol. i grew up in the refugee camp. my family and i were sponsored here only to be left with nothing. my parents work 2 jobs each to support us. american dream - yea they reached it...so how come i haven't. they came not knowing a word of english but still managed to put each of us to school. yet we can't accomplish what they have for us...a beautiful house and i'm not talking a small one... a new car...money saved. what do i have...an old clonker, an apt that i can barely afford...and living paycheck to paycheck. how did our parents do it??? is it us - are we so spoiled by society that we just can't seem to do what they did - which was work hard and sacrifice. i don't know what it is...but hopefully i can do the same for my daughter as what they've done for me.
