American Dream

impressed
Tonight, I watched 20/20 on ABC. They told this story about an immigrant couple from Mexico. They illegally crossed the border into Los Angeles over 30 years ago. Since then, they have worked every night picking through the garbage to find recyclables and used their profits from the sale of the recyclables to put their three children through college.
Truly, all things are possible!

So true, Sparrow!
These kids are living their parents' dreams. It's amazing - one boy has a degree from MIT, and their daughter has a degree from one of the universities in California. Their youngest son is currently attending a CA university. But the oldest children, the ones who have graduated, have good jobs, good cars, good everything - it's AMAZING!

Yes, Sparrow, it breaks my heart too. But at the same time, I'm so proud and thankful to hear stories like this. I think education is the only way to really and truly break the cycle of poverty. It is so good to see people who really are changing their world.
