.... only could do so in the air force. Though having a strong desire to help more people, he was not allowed to have a clinic of his own outside the air force. Also, the small amount of salary made him think about getting a license as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in order to support his large family. Nonetheless, he still worked at the air force in the morning while preparing for the first level of examination for the license. As a result , he passed it. Then he started studying for the second level examination, but it was not as easy as the first one. He had to memorize everything in certain books word-by-word. In fact, it took him eleven years t .....

.... so far in your life. I have two brothers, a sister, and a nephew. Although I am the only one still living at home they all live within twenty miles of my house. I see the quite frequently, and it has been very difficult moving away from all of them knowing that they are all still there with each other. I also miss my parents. I was use to getting all the attention, since I was the last child to leave the house. Now that I am three hours away it is hard to get all the attention I am use to. I miss them all very much, but the phone has proven to be my best friend. I talk to them all everyday, making sure that I do not miss a thing that goes on in Atlanta. .....

.... green forest. Everything seems to be lit up with electricity. The green of the leaves glows like sunburst emeralds. Shortly onward the wind picks up and the trees dance as if performing in a musical ballet. All the colors seem to be out of a fairy tale story book. There are huge flowers everywhere. There are millions from the size of a quarter to the largeness basketball. Oh, the smell!!! I have never smelled anything so beautiful in all my life. Only God himself could create a smell so sweet and delicate. My heart is immediately thankful that god gave me such a heavenly paradise. As I continue my walk I wonder if I am alone or if this enchanted tropical .....

.... some Nikes. After giving up on my hair; I ran into the kitchen and snatched my lunch box off the counter. Soon I was out the door and on to face my first day at my new school. After defeating the labyrinth of streets that we call our neighborhood, and meeting my first crossing guard; I made my way into the school. It was quite crowded , but I knew where I was headed. I proceeded up the stairs and down the hall to room 212, where I sat down in the front row. I turned around and took a quick peak at the class; scanning the room for someone to talk to. When I saw no opportunities I began to get a bit timid, but as soon as the bell rang I felt all right. W .....

.... 70 dollars and some pennies, That's very good (35)." Linda says this to Willy after she found out that his pay wasn't as expected. Whenever they talk about paying their mortgage they seem to compromise and have a healthy conversation. Usually when they talk about other important issues, they end up arguing because Willy has a short temper. "You shouldn't have criticized him, Willy, especially after he just got off the train. You mustn't lose your temper with him (15)." Willy has no shame because he will talk about anyone and not care. Talking about their mortgage helps them to stay together by agreeing with one another. Whenever the topic comes up, the .....

.... stood in the way. The only sizable obstacle was going through, and passing driver's education. Once I was comfortable with the class and behind the wheel of the car, I knew that the class was not going to be a problem. As I had expected it was not, the driving tasks were fairly easy and simple, and the worksheets and tests were a breeze! Now that I had all legal requirements met, I was very eager to get my license and start driving on my own. It took the instructor about three weeks to finally have the completion slips signed and ready for us to take. The day after they were ready, I got my completion slip and left to get my driver's license and a new co .....

.... to Richmond to see my friends. If I had a car, all these problems would be solved Living in the British Properties has to be the biggest problem with transportation because the buses hardly ever come, it's far away from everything, and the weather is terrible. The buses come every hour on weekdays and only three times on Sundays. I have complained before, but they don't care to what I have to say. Even when the buses come they are always late because the routes are convoluted. It takes hours to get anywhere. The closest commercial area to my house is Park Royal and that is a two hour walk away. There are no small stores and if I want milk, the close .....

.... to junior college and needed a job to pay the bills. At the time I was hired I lived with my parents and had car payments and credit card payments. So I needed enough money to pay for the car and the cards. Also in about a year I would be moving out into an apartment of my own, and I also would be started to attend Sacramento State. I pay for my own schooling either out of my pocket or by getting student loans. When I first started working for this company they were short handed and all the employees at the store I started at were new to each other. That is they had worked for the company at other stores but had not worked together. I was hire .....
