elusive cat, the boy is burned out with his work at a gastation. I can feel his pain.he must be earning and spending everything for school. the point here is frustration of a kid who falls victim of the crime and bribery he did not participate in. he is suffering because he had to leave his country due to of the greedy politicians who ruined the country so bad that he can not see a promising future back home. He comes to find a better life in America thinking America is the land of opportunity everyone keeps talking about. However,  in the reality he just gets fked more cuz America doesn't want students here to have better life. they want money from students and wanna kick them out as soon as they're done. And of course, what do you expect from the most moneysucking instutions in this most capitalistic country; universities are businesses and by the out of state tution which they keep raising everysemester, it's nothing more than an attempt to squeeze the blood out of a trunip.
So the poor kid doesn't understand where his life is going. he thouht, he could start out in America to have a successful life. but he finds out he has to work with rednecks and dumb public who can't by pass the fact that there is more than the color of skin. He probably gets underestimated for being a foreigner. They must think that he is stupid and not as bright as them cuz he can't speak good english, or say he has an accent. He is frustrated that they can't understand that people with accent can be smarter than them. He's probably mad at the lazy white boys who come and buy rolling papers and cigars 10 times a day to smoke pot. He is frustrated and mad at them cuz although they have better choices and opportunities they are not using them and yet complaining about their life to this poor fellow who has no option than to work as a slave to pay his tution. He is probably also frustrated that although he is working and using the money wisely to feed back the greedy instutions he has to do it as if he is stealing money. cuz working for foreign student in this great country where millions come illegally and become legal is illegal. He is probably, even frustrated that some Nepalis who have green cards on dv can be so ignorant to blame their fate for winning the DV. He probably meet one or 2 Nepali every week coming to his gastation to look for a job making his insecure about his job. He probably is frustrated and confused how long he's going to work like this and pay for school. And what is there after teh school . H1 in lottery? leave the country and go to Nepal, and work where? will Nepal be there? is there gonna be electricity if he go back? can he survive in Nepal with no electricity or smarter people than these dumb rednecks and wanna be gastastas? but what if those smart people out smart him back there unfairly? is that the reason and many more what made him pick this bold and big decision to come over to usa few years ago? This poor kid must be confused, frustrated, tired, and bored with life. He wants to talk to some. He wants to tell them, hey! don't smoke pot man and go to school apply for financial aid which i can't and make more money. lol!...i think his story makes a lot of point..
