[quote=Anonymous]I wish I had had such people around me when I moved to the US, specifically to DC. I ended up living in Columbia Heights area and there were zero know-it-alls in late 90s. I had half homeless, uneducated, jobless 'helpers' around me who ended up helping themselves to anything I earned or achieved. When I give advise, it's from experience, not feelings or having read a book. Usually, it's for people who have similar background as myself. I think I'm trying to keep them from going through what I had to go through. I want them to not make the mistakes I made. I have over the years taken in several people experiencing temporary homelessness. I have got them jobs, driven to places, watched their kids. All this is more than the International student Organization or my own embassy ever did to help me when I needed help. I don't dare to give advice to the highly educated, but for others needing help, sure. By the way, nobody listens.[/quote]
