His Name Is Alex
March 14, 2018
I can relate with Rafael because I too had an immigrant friend. When you talked about alex was "so unfamiliar with the value of a dollar" that sounded just like a situation my friend Lam was in. Money in Vietnam goes by the thousands, which is no more then a couple of bucks in U.S dollars and my firend too assumed ten or twenty dollars was too little. Like Alex he left his own country to find a better life. thank you Rafael for sharing because this is something I can relate to.
