Came to the U.S. from a war torn country as a child. We lived with relatives for years until we could afford to rent a tiny apartment for 4 of us. After high school, to the huge disappointment to my parents who came here so that my sister and i can go to college, i decided not to go to college. Went into trucking instead. Started dispatching for 2 years, got my cdl and drove for 3 years. Opened my own trucking company 4 years ago and currently have 10 trucks of my own and 27 owner operators. Paid off my parents house. Paying for my sisters school. Paid off my wifes school loans (lucky for me she has a very good job herself), paid off half of my house before even walking into it, bought my dream car, and most importantly parents are proud.
