The American Dream: War Veteran Mary Kimani advises young Kenyans
By

When you mention the American dream, most people around the world especially my fellow Kenyans back at home get excited. They misinterpret it by thinking America is a land of milk and honey where things are readily available.
Life can hand you the wrong card. Its how we deal with what life brings our way, that define our destiny.
My name is Mary Kimani. I came to America almost 16 years ago. It could be more, but I stopped counting. Why?
Well people have this notion that America is somewhat another heaven on earth. No it is not. I wish they knew how wrong they are. In fact what they don’t know is that people around the world find it hard here.
