my dad nearly died of a fever as an infant, as a result can't hear or see out of one side of his face. still managed to get a college education in taiwan, become a banker, immigrate our family to the U.S., worked in a baskin robbins and flea market, and late night motel shifts since we couldn't speak the language. so did my mom.

compared to the kids with health problems, I lived in paradise. but I thought it sucked. worked at ice cream store each weekend of my life. worked at a flea market selling complete crap. worked at every possible crappy summer job, including telemarketing (a crime against humanity).

I managed to put myself through college and law school. Debating over whether you can afford to spend 4 bucks on crappy college pizza is no way to go through college.

Now I pull down 250K+ a year and can take care of my folks. took them to london and paris for retirement present. Bought Rox season tix this year for me and dad.

It took a long time, but life is good.
