Accomplishments
1999 Arrived at the US, entered an Adult education center to learn and improve my english language. During the morning went to school, and in the afternoon went to work at a restaurant. One year later joined the merchant Marine, started as a deckhand, slowly worked my way up to a Marine chief Engineer license.
While I was working in Long Beach CA, started working at my bachelor degree during the weekend. And also got my National Association stationary engineering license.
My best achievement is having a family of 6 children.
