Mr. Prediction |
Do you still believe in AMERICA, the greatest NATION on Earth?
|
I know proverty.... I lived it.
From 16 on I lived in the back seat of a 1970 chevy nova, I never knew a Chritmas morning. I took showers in Hamilton county park camp grounds for .25 cents and I felted BLESSED to be an AMERICAN!
I pumped gas for $2.10 per hour and put myself through school, I can remember so clearly reading my H.S. diploma through the light of a street light. I had NO health insurance and no food stamps or grants. Back then I was ashamed of myself..but I worked hard and long, some weeks 90 hours a week for years.
I never allowed my minority status to hold me back..ever.
Today I have a beauitful 4 bdm, 4 bath home with the best wife on earth, we have rasied 3 children & put through college, OUR MONEY. My children never knew a day of poverty..only love. I own a business with 15 full-time employess, 6 part time.
EVERYTHING was given to me by AMERICA. I never had time to protest or complain...too busy working, living & loving.
glass 1/2 full or empty????? Additional Details Louie: Good question, yes I worked for what I have BUT it was American opportunity that blessed me..it GAVE to the chance to work..to succeed.

Thank you for your great story and to write such a positive motivational story and to share with others is a great blessing. I deeply appreciate your sharing your story with us. Also, I have had many generations of ancestors in the military and some fought and died in battle defending America and I am pleased that you appreciate the schools in America and our Public Libraries and the freedoms we have. Many take our freedoms for granted and forget about the men in battle in the past who fought and died for our many freedoms. Good Luck to you........

Great testimony to the good ole USA.
(BTW, the term "America" encompasses all countries in North America, Central America and South America. It is why Border Patrol asks, "US citizen?" rather than "American?" when asking citizenship question. An Argentina citizen good truthfully respond "yes.")

i think it should be mandated that every person has to travel to a 3rd world country for a week or more and learn a few things about -needs and wants-. then return and re-examine the priorities of oneself.

Congrats. I wish more Americans were like you. Everyone wants a free ride and doesnt want to work for anything anymore. My step-dad didn't even finish high school because he had to support his family, and he now has a business and a good life as well. I am not rich, but I have a nice home, a good husband and 2 well behaved kids. I don't have a great job, but I am proud of what I do have. I love being an American and just knowing that anyone here has to chance to succeed and make something of themselves if they want it bad enough!

Yes this country still remains the greatest nation on Earth and I don't care how many thumbs down I get. You did work hard for it and it might've been even harder in other countries to rise from poverty and become what you are now.

Other countries are much better. The USA is a country where one must have money to get justice. The USA government is corrupt. Germany, Canada, France for example are much better countries.

The glass is simply too big.
Just joking- I had to say that once.
I'm with you.
I left home at 17 ( she was pregnant of course) got married, had four lovely kids, put myself through college, started a business eventually, sold it, started another, sold it and so forth. I'm still in business and loving it at 71.
Yeah, this is the greatest Country.

Truly is the greatest country. There may be countries that do some things better then us, but no one over all is better then us. This country gives you every chance in the world if you are willing to work for it, while doing all we can to help the rest of the world as well. Those who disagree, probably hate to work as hard as need be.

You are a true American. You are what built this country and what I was taught about this county. Anyone can make it if you go out everyday and work. I was not taught that I was entitled to anything except the opportunity to have the opportunity. We are spoiled.The US is still the Best Country. The people are LAZY and want everything handed to them.
Congratulations on fulfillment of your dream!
