“I achieved my American dream” had me tears eyed. People from overseas have such an appreciation for this beautiful country that I honestly dont think Americans have. And it’s not that they don’t love this country but being born in the dream is different than finally reaching it.

The best part of this is even when the parents dissuaded him early (understandable because most parents, especially here in Asia really value education and career), this kid still gave them respect and admiration in the end. Because at the end of the day, it's still our parents that carried us before we can really rise up. That is something spoiled kids will NEVER understand.

I cried when he took the offer 🥰 best reaction ever

[@jeanniejones8777]

I can't begin to tell you how special, how inspiring and how heart warming this episode makes me feel. I was hoping that Mr Robert would invest, I really felt that he was the perfect fit. It especially warms my heart to see the success monetarily and on a humanitarian level. I love that Robert has his own collection, he looks great in his shirts. Women like to see a man on a more tapered look. It looks more tailored and classy. How about a small collection of men's and women's that match but start off with neutrals. Many couples like wearing outfits that coordinate. That would be a nice introduction to women's wear as a specialty item. We like a soft great looking shirt too. It's a staple for our capsule wardrobe. I'm glad to see that you are in Los Angeles, I will have to stop in when make a trip to the Bev Ctr. Congratulations all the way around!
