Our<br />
Neighbors<br />
When I came to the<br />
United States I started<br />
at the bottom. I could<br />
speak four languages,<br />
had a degree <strong>in</strong><br />
account<strong>in</strong>g and 12 years<br />
of experience <strong>in</strong><br />
a high position at an<br />
oil company. Despite<br />
th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g that it would<br />
be easy to f<strong>in</strong>d a good<br />
job, I started out <strong>in</strong><br />
housekeep<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Do<strong>in</strong>g the k<strong>in</strong>d of work<br />
that I do now is not for<br />
money. For me it’s the<br />
satisfaction I get from<br />
plac<strong>in</strong>g women, s<strong>in</strong>gle<br />
mothers, widows, <strong>in</strong> a<br />
good job so they can<br />
take care of themselves.<br />
