Just wanted to add a few words to that. I think life is what you make of it be in Nepal or USA. I hear people whining life being difficult everywhere. Life is not easy...plain and simple. You have to work for what you want. I have a lot of respect for this country. I came here when was about 22 when to undergrad in WC. The only thing I came here was with my tution fee and 1500 that you are allowed to take. The first two semesters I did not do well and wanted to experience every thing...after that I put my @$$ down, moved to north east and started going to school and working full time. It was difficult..managing work, school and an active social life. . finally I finished my AA, BS and now MS and fortunatelyI dont owe a dime in student loan. I worked very hard I wanted to give up many times in the process I gave up a lot but now I have managed to own some properties work full time and life is still demanding but I cant complain about it. I am trying to set up funds to re-build schools in Nepal...so I would say I have been blessed. Those who sit on their @$$ and whine about life...believe me I have seen such others go through worse and be movers and shakers today.....
