my parents were missionaries form the 1970s to the 1990s traveling the world living in more the 15 countries. I was born In Cairo, me and family lived in group homes with as much a 10 other family's. In 1994 we come to Boston then 2 years later moved to RI and entered the public school system into 5Th grade. the school told my that I have ADD and put me special edu classes with mentally changed people. with no friends and a bad education, i devoted my life to become something more. I started making money at age 9 by doing landscaping and shoveling snow. my parents didn't give me no anyone of us kids money or an allowance. we all had to earn are keep be doing chores. my other 11 brothers and sitters all did fine. when I turned 18 i opened a checking account, established credit, and opened a Ruth ARA with fidelity investments.
with no guidance I lose thousands of my hard earn money on money make scams and business attempts. I still invests more time and money in my education then anything else. My learning Japanese is the only hobby that I have stuck with. I have tried some many thing and quit because of the lack of self motivation and support. so now my number one gaol is to master the Japanese language, save money and go to japan.
