A Success Story

 

 

 

This is a story about, a person who is very special to me, my brother Luis. His story started in Brazil eleven years ago. He wanted to came to America and was 18 years old when he came with my mother. My mother went back to Brazil but my brother stayed here. Coming to America, he didn't speak any English. He started working in restaurants, landscaping, construction, and other jobs. Sometimes he worked 101 hours a week! After sometime, he got married. Now he has a beautiful wife and two children, a handsome boy and a cute girl. Six years ago he started his own company with help from his wife. God blessed them so much because they are nice people and they help their friends all the time. Year after year, his company grew bigger. His company does landscaping and construction.

Today my brother lives in Stow. He has a nice, big house and he has his dream car (a Ferrari). But he still is working hard. I think he is a winner, because he came to America with just the clothes on his back. I admire him so much because he is courageous and smart. He is a winner! Something is very interesting about his company, on every truck he put the phrase " IN GOD WE TRUST". I think that is why he is a success story.
