At 21 I left my country from Europe to the US and alone. I cleaned stores and at the same time worked as a carpenter. After few months here I had an accident with my first car which I bought for a loan actualy, it was destroyed and I didn’t have any insurance. At the moment I thought my American Dream has ended. Well, it didn’t. I worked even harder, and today I’m a house owner. I can totaly relate to your story.
