The attached picture was what my room looked like (when clean) right after I graduated, you can see where\/what my mind was set to (the flags I got on my 1995 trip and they were always on display in my room as a way to visualize my goal of coming here). At the time I was being outsourced to code for Pocket PCs, and that was my entry ticket to the US to become a special H1B worker.<\/p>\n
Today the dream of becoming an American will come true.<\/p>\n
I’ll be on my way to take my oath in a few minutes. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n
