I WANNA BE A BILLIONAIRE SO FREAKIN BAD...

As i go through the photos trying to find a theme of how and why i am the way i am, i realize it's all about the money. Everybody is in this amazing race to get the money and make a happier living for themselves. From the day my dad got to the USA he has been working his brains out trying to make ends meet. He originally came here to study engineering at the Brooklyn institute of tech but found it very difficult and time consuming because he just wanted to make money he got small time jobs here and there thinking it would be a quick way to make money. After that my dad never got a degree and took up cab driving and many other jobs which he is still not so proud of. however, he had a dream to have his own store one day and now he lives it, he is a small business owner and loves his job. so I've learned it's all about moving up the ladder and becoming more and more advanced in your education than your parents to ensure a good life. therefore i know i must word extremely hard and make my parents proud for moving out here and giving me chance to be the best i can be. whereas, if i were in Pakistan i would probably just go to college to train as a house wife, fancily known as home economics. in home economics i would have learned how to keep house but here i know how to keep house and make a living.
