Thanks guys. I was born in the Philippines in near poverty. My Mom was a college grad which helped her land a job here in San Francisco as a typist at the Bank of America. She retired 26 years later as a vice president.
She raised me and my 3 brothers with the help of my stepdad, a longshoreman. She advised us to embrace English rather than consider it our second language because, she felt, that was the secret to success in this country. She was/is right.
