@willccbb @fujikanaeda I'm excited for this phase
Happy 4th of July everyone.
I came here as a kid at 9 years old, not knowing a single word of english, lived on food stamps in section 8 housing. My parents cleaned houses while my sister and I collected cans for recycling. Our clothing was all donated and our furniture was things we found on the curb (here I am in front of our "tv set", the broken one being used as a stand for the little working b/w one).
But this country gave us an opportunity--to learn, to work hard and earn something for it. "Grateful" does not begin to cover it. I owe this country and its people everything I have.
Thank you America, happy 250 to the idea.
