I didn't know what English was all about. It was just our destiny to be chosen to come to the States. We applied to the U.N. They asked us where we wanted to go. I saw the American flag that came to get us from the border. I said that's where we want to go.

I told my kids that I don't have the education that they have right now. I didn't have the freedom that they have right now. The living conditions ? you sleep on the ground and you live day by day. Your life is in the hands of the communist regime as a slave, basically.

Until I came to the States, there was no hope for my future. I have two children, and I need to protect them and the country that has been good to me. Here I am, 10 years later.

The future works out great men's destinies; The present is enough for common souls, Who, never looking forward, are indeed Mere clay wherein the footprints of their age Are petrified forever.

Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny.

That's not the way she played all year. I thought Destiny Mitchell kept us in the game. Some of the other kids had some good defenders on them who were bigger and stronger so they had trouble getting some shots off and getting to the basket.
