Giving Thanks #1

by Ruth Lim

I give thanks to my parents! For raising me and my younger sister, Angela. And especially for sending me to California to high school and college! 


I had this burning desire to go to high school in California. I blame it on dad's Reader's Digest and Time magazines. My parents did not have to send both daughters so far away, and spend most of their life savings. Most of their friends' daughters would stay home, get married and have children. But, they knew an education was the ticket to a better future back on Borneo or where ever we ended up.

So, I ended up here in America's Finest City with my family and my Good Sam family!
