THE HUMILIATION OF SOKTIM

Mr. Soktim After reading your two cents worth I came to understand how little you really know about the real world. I first attended a very small and unknown college and worked 60 hours+ at a gas station. I maintained my G.P.A and managed to get into what you call "FIRST TIER" college. I have graduated and consider myself very fortunate to have the job that I have. On the other hand, I have not forgotten my roots and appreciation for hardworking Nepali students. If I am not wrong you have not graduated yet, so let me give you some advice. When you live in America it really does not matter if you go to a "First" tier college or a "Fourth" tier college unless you attend Universities like Harvard, Princeton, Yale... Don't be so proud of your scholarship because that does not give you the credential to get a job ...what matters is your ability to perform and how you expose yourself to the world. Thats not all...you need LUCK and lots of it. As for your comments about working Nepali students...what are you against? If you are satisfied with working 20 hrs a week so be it. But if other people want to work more and want more out of life than you, then let it be. At the end of the day it does not matter which University you attended or how high your GPA is...what matters is how much MONEY you have. It does not matter if you earned your money legally or illegally. If you have money you can have everything...from American citizenship to whatever you desire. It sounds as if you are very frustrated with your life...I mean anyone would be...making the minimum wage...no savings...having no money to buy what other students may own like...cars ...And in America having no money means you ain't got a honey. I truly feel sorry for you...so don't be so proud of your scholarship! First learn to be PROUD of being NEPALI...and don't tell us you don't understand Nepali (referring to a prior thread) how long have you been here? 3yrs...5 yrs...10 yrs????...you certainly were not born here. American born Nepalese are not interested about how much Nepali students work. Learn to be respectful and only then will be be respected. Try to learn to be modest... (SOKTIM AFNO GOON AFAILE GAKO RAMRO HUDAINA..) This is how I feel about SOKTIM ...he is so proud to be in America that he forgot he spent 90% of his life in Nepal. He is what we call..."NAPAUNE LE PAYO, BOKRA SAMET KHAYO" So what do all of our Nepali brothers working at Gas Stations think about Soktim? Do write...
