Empty Stomach

An Immigrant/Refugee Memo to his son at college

These character building days at Cal Poly where you go to bed hungry, get up hungry, skip breakfast, ration food. Just remember. These days are a test where only the strong will endure and survive. I promise you that one day you will look back at these empty stomach days and smile with humility and gratitude when you are successful.
Remember, the immigrant work ethic begins and ends with hunger.
