Chris,

Good to hear it. One of my best friends is from the PI and is trying to track down his family over there now.

One thing is that the vast majority of all the immigrants to America is that they all work hard and are very successful. Seems that they know that this is the "land of opportunity" and make the most of it.

Please remember and practice your language skills. I wish that it was a requirement for every student to learn a second language. I could care less which language but knowing how to speak another tongue changes people and opens them up to other civilizations. Lucky for me I lived in Mexico as a kid, so know Spanish, then lived in Germany and Denmark later on in life so was forced to learn a couple more. Please pass this along to your kids and talk to them in both languages as it will help them later in life!
