I am setting here in the Library and am next to a young man from Egypt! [View all]

He is with a person helping him with math, he is trying to get his GED and get ready for the Citizenship Test. He is under 18 and is working at getting his feet here in America. He has no one; he talks of losing his family.

He is going full throttle for the American Dream. He is doing lawn work to help get his Dream started. He has a long road to hoe, but he is trying to find his way. He seems to have help in with this endeavor, and he will need it.

Hearing him talk to the lady helping him brings a thrill to my heart. People are still out there living the first three rights of the United States of America: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
