Some made it and some don't. That is life. at least we can be what
ever we want to be if we set our mind to it.
Most of all people should ask them self IF they are happy?
I think it's not bad to come from the back ground of having nothing,
only clothes on their back and the beating heart.
On the English speaking level, How many US-born Mexican speak fluent
English?

Hmong and Lao norks are doing fine. Only this commander wanna be
like you still insist that LPDR is the best country, yet wanted to
reelisted for MRE and Blue Berry Pancakes. Your Uncle Bouasone needs
you soooo much why not go back to Laos and help your commie Conrad,
eh!
English is just a survival language. What is important is to speak
our own languages and maintain our cultures that identify who we are.
Education is a tool of making a better living, however, the people
that make so much money out of their lives don't necessary have a
college degrees. example, Donald Trump and Bill Gates.
Only those cave-dwelling leaders in Laos merely have a 3rd grade level
make millions of dollars from corruption and dwell on international
good well donor money and still fly a communist flag which is not its
own.
