    I remember reading a book prior to the two wars in Afghanistan. It was describing Afghanis.
    It said they didn’t drink or smoke. Everything was so safe there, you could leave your doors unlocked.
    At any rate, my Mom worked four jobs to take care of six children. I’ve seen her so tired, she would fall asleep standing up.
    When you want to succeed you can.
    It’s never the outsider that saves the day. It’s the insider. Decide if a good life is what you want because you can have it here.

    I would think, his primary concern, would be learning English. It's a mistake to learn from someone, like family, who's first language isn't English. You get second generation errors, in pronunciation...which makes harder for others, to understand you. Instead, take classes from an English speaker.

We have so many young men in the service that lost their life trying to protect them and they wouldn't even fight and defend their own country and then you'll come here to United States who welcomes you and then you go to Acton ass really I'm only speaking about the ones in Maryland and if you don't believe just bring up a recent broadcast within the last week or so and how they are refusing shelter and help because they don't want to live in this neighborhood
