I imagined Steveny looking completely different also.
Here is how I thought he would appear.
Jason
I am a college drop out and took time off from studying for 6 years (currently back to finish where I left off just for pleasure).
-I speak 4 different languages
-I love my two cats to no end. They treat me so well. One of them is still alive and healthy.
-I don't think I ever put anyone down once in my life intentionally.
-Never took a day off from my daily work out routine since age 16, even on Christmas or when I am sick. If I travel I jog rain or snow. For those early PAGs, I wake up 2 extra hours early to do my work out before the meet.
-I love good eats, live to eat, eat to live
-I like to travel and see different things
-I love family and people
-Not as gifted as Sis and Bro in terms of extrovert and brain, but I have discipline.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Came to America at age 13 by myself, I choosed America, sister and brother choosed Australia. I went through entire teen years without parents by my side. I had very unique situations.
Age 13 worked as child labor at Tracy Motel in front of Tracy high school, it was nasty environment, $5 a day not my well, was forced by mean ass relative. (Bay area NSXers, is Tracy Motel still there on the main street?). Didn't know any English at the time. Zero freedom, relative were extreme sacrastic all the time and tried to put me down. A single word of encouragement were never received from her, lots of discouraging words. My grandmother witnessed when she came to visit her daughter (my aunt). Grandmother cried and couldn't believe the daughter she adored is such a nasty person, she wanted to take me back.
Age 14 The relatives who made me worked at Tracy Motel, landed in jail. Karma bitch. You see that is why I believe in karma.:biggrin:
Age 14 Relocated to youth shelter in Stockton by Social Workers. It was actually kinda fun there. Basketball, kids, TV, work for fake money so you can exchange it for toys.
Age 14 moved and live under a really loving homestay family in Ripon, CA. Lived in a really old abandoned mobil home that leaks in countless spots (it rains a lot during the winter), no heater. Smell like shit at night, because it is next to Chicken farm. The mobilhome was really cool though, because I get the entire mobil home for myself. All my friends loved it. But even them couldn't stand the smell at night.:biggrin:
Work at chicken farm picking eggs 6 hours a day. Just because I felt bad that my homestay mother's kids doesn't want to help out. My parents was paying them good money. I wasn't living there for free, but seeing home stay mother picking eggs by herself. I don't have the heart not to offer a hand.
Age 15 I couldn't took it any more, I had to find legitimate excuses so I don't have to pick and wash chicken eggs, so I joined cross country team at school and took Tae kwon Do classes. I practice and do my homework at Dojo until 10:00pm everyday. I do still help out on Weekends. She would take me out to Hometown buffet in Modesto to eat as much as I wish. Little thing like that, make a big difference for kids. She always give me a ride to malls and anywhere I asked. If hers kids have it. I have the same. She treated me like her own kids. God I miss her.
-Graduated from Ripon High
-Stay in Sydney, Australia for 6 months with my sister and brother.
-Drop out of San Jose State University and worked at Howies Hi Tech games (bay area guys do you remember me?) Howies at Barber Lane in Milpitas Square. Howies is no longer there:frown: Sony kinda put him out of business. The evolution of the business in his field didn't help him. Kinda similar to what DVDs did to Blockbuster video.
1998 camped out overnight to get the right to purchase and bought a 5 bed room house in Milpitas for $420k. Near the county jail (aka correctional center with inmates) and great mall. Today it worth $850k. One of most convenient location in Bay Area.
2002 took off to Japan and lived in Nishi-Shinjuku for almost a year.

2004 March My cat Meowth clapsed for the first time with no prior sign.

2006 Received AA degree
2006 GF graduated from UCLA, got good job offer immediately after and been doing well since. She encouraged me that it is never too late to study.
2007 Admited into University of California Irvine (Business Economic and Japanese double major). My GPA should had been good enough to get me into UCLA if I wanted to, but don't want to leave home and not down for driving 3 hours a day like GF did.
2007 Fall, went to class for the first time, had tough time adjusting to the pressure and stress. Amazed by # of snubby kids on campus driving entry level Lexus 250s, Bimmer 325s, Mercedes C 230s and think they are king of the world. Majority of kids are still hard working and good kids. Just some bad ants.
2008 Winter quarter- I think I am getting better at managing pressure and stress.
20xx I plan to enjoy the campus life for as long as I can, maybe grad school someday. If I have Bill Gate money, I still want to enjoy campus life. I do miss my freedom and earning power when I had more time to devote to my business and travel.
Out of all the years, the year during my age 13 felt like rest of the years combined. 2004 was not the toughest but definitely saddest, it was like I lost a child and family member.
