...I realize that we were drawn to Jacob by...not just the trauma of the Lost Boys’ dislocation...but also his indomitable determination to prevail. We marveled as he won repeated promotions... becoming a security guard and then a security shift supervisor. He brought his wife...to Atlanta from Kenya, bore a son, gained American citizenship, earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University — with a 3.3 G.P.A. — and supported family members in Africa and the States on an income of about $25,000 a year. If you havent yet read the article on Jacob Mach, please treat yourself to ten minutes and read this. It is particularly relevant on the heels of Thanksgiving, when many of us forgot to give thanks. nytimes/2013/12/08/magazine/a-lost-boy-grows-up.html?hp&_r=0
