| Actually, I have a lot to celebrate for the months of April and May. Besides getting this new job, my sister just got married. And then my family passed their green-card interviews, and if things work out all right, they should be on their way to the United States of America starting lives anew as immigrants before the end of 2003. |

| My mom taught me how to be thorough, one of the things she used to tell me is “Sweep this room for me, do a good job; don’t sweep the square corners round.” I recall her saying this many times during my childhood days, so I have to assume that she was persistent in her effort for me to do a thorough job and in the process taught me responsibility. Thank you, Mom. |
