Thank you all and yes if you put your mind into it and work very hard, you can get there!!

Yet another atta boy.

Yatang, your above post should be required reading for those that take their freedom and citizenship for granted because they were born here
I salute you and your wife!...You are a true American in my book!

Yatang

You have a beautiful wife and a fantastic story. I cannot wait to meet you at a herf here in Seattle or when I make the trek down to Portland to herf with you and the rest of the guys there. Congratulations!

Kazama

congratulations! very nice looking couple you make.

I commend you both on your hard work, determination and dedication. To hear a story such as yours helps us all to realize how good we have it here. Thank you for sharing it.

What a great story! You are the dictionary definition of the American Dream realized. Education, perseverance & hard work brings reward. (I think Bill Cosby was referencing that concept today). Shoot, we have an awful lot of people who were born in this country who still don't "get it." You deserve every bit of success and reward that comes to you!

Yatang, you are a hopeless romantic. And who can blame you with such a beautiful wife.

It doesn't always require money to make one rich and you are truely a rich man.
Good Luck,
MJ
