I share vignettes of your emigrant story,
the toil, the trials, the fortunes,
successes, failures, etc. I too need to
thank America for the opportunity to fail or
succeed based purely (mostly) on the merit of my
efforts. Though somewhat disillusioned in recent years
from my once Puritan view of American
individual values and global goals, it is still for me very personally the
land of opportunity and individual freedom. So thanks Alex for sharing your story, and thank you America!

Yours is an example of why closing our borders to immigration would be the equivalent of shooting ourselves in the head. Thank you for contributing to the dreams of Americans everywhere.

I always enjoy reading your articles covering trends. After reading this amazing story, I have to say this is my favorite.

I was a math major. My first job was to write device driver on a IBM PC. Your story got me thinking my days as a programmer. Thank you, Alex.
