Well said Sue D. Nimh. I'm an immigrant myself. When I came to this country, at the age of ten, with my parents all we had were the clothes on our back. I attended NYC public schools and paid my own way through a NY state college. I’m 30, Sr. software developer at a small financial services company in NYC, I’m married have two beautiful girls and we have a house (well actually a town-house but cut me some slack I’m only 30 and I live in NY) in a neighborhood with really good schools. It sounds like I’m bragging but my point is only in the US of A you will see my story repeat it self over and over. And yes I also agree with Sue on the fact that we all need to do our part if we are going to make it.

Great post, very inspiring
