105. Tha'ts what makes America Great!
Edited on Tue Jan-11-05 03:48 PM by Walt Starr
Land of opportunity!

My mother came from dirt poor folks. She never had indoor plumbing growing up. She ended up going to work for the government at age 18 and began building a life for herself. She now owns her home free and clear.

Her work made it possible for my brothers and I to get further ahead than she did. I now am on a "starter home" with plans to upgrade to a larger home.

This is America, where opportunity awaits those who will grab it.
