passion of yours. You drew all kinds of objects and even portraits. Even in college you still drew. I still have some of your drawings - I will have to search for them! You were such a big brother to Ralph and Cherie. Every evening after watching TV together, it was your duty to wake them up and send them to bed. You also made sure they did their chores on time so that you don’t miss your Saturday trips to the bookstore. You played with them, entertaining them with your antics to make them laugh. We arrived in the United States to join your dad in 1986. Neither you nor your siblings were happy about the move. You missed your friends. You continued junior high school at a public school near where we lived. After spending the first semester in 8th grade you were promoted to 9th grade. One of the teachers advised me to move you to Science High School. It wasn’t easy convincing the high school to admit you - it was the middle of a semester. However, after passing the exam required for admission, they agreed to let you start. You ended up graduating high school as one of their best students. There were some challenges with college, as we were trying to get settled in. You did your part again with flying colors - MIT, Princeton, and Rutgers. Yes, I know we decided on Rutgers for 25 The Birthday Journal
