I don't wanna sound like Balki from Perfect Strangers but my childhood and experiences growing up in the USA truly prove that the US is the land of opportunity. My parents made minimum wage but they both worked two jobs, saved, and believed in the future. Due to this diligence and unflagging belief in making it, they were able to buy a house, several cars, and some investment property. Moreover, this story is not restricted to Filipino immigrants, I have Mexican, Russian, Armenian, and Indian friends whose parents all came with little to no money but invested their TIME, WORK, and FAITH to make it work.
It's doable, bro. You just have to BELIEVE in yourself.
Everytime I think I have run across a hurdle I can't reach or an impasse I can't resolve... I just think back to the 1 cup of rice my mom rationed to each of her siblings and the monthly flooding of their squatters' shack. Whatever problems or doubts I have instantly dissipate and I keep moving forward. Same thing for everyone. Just FOCUS on what's possible and it WILL HAPPEN!
