Only in America, West Point Military Academy Honor’s Graduate, the Top Student in the Physics Department, Alex Idrachhe.
This recent West Point graduate is Alex Idrache. He grew up in a slum in Haiti, and he tells the story of how U.S. soldiers were deployed to his neighborhood following the earthquake there several years ago. He says their presence was the first experience of "hope" he recalls in his childhood.
He remembers looking at his dad and asking him who the people were that were helping. His dad looked at him and said, "They are American soldiers." He looked back at his father and said, "One day, I will be an American soldier." His father knew the situation in Haiti was unworkable and tried for several years to obtain a visa to come to the United States. After being denied for several years, he was finally granted a spot in Baltimore. He purchased a ticket on a boat for his family and left Haiti. They arrived and Alex, remembering his dream in the slum several years prior, looked for a way to join the U.S. Army. He found a national guard program that allowed him to join the Army in exchange for citizenship. He didn't hesitate.
After a series of fortunate occurrences, he was given one of the few spots at West Point for prior enlisted soldiers. Despite his severe lack of formal education, he graduated as an honor graduate (top 5% physically and academically) and the top student in the Physics Department. This picture was taken just prior to tossing his hat in the air, the realization of a dream that began 10 years ago in a slum in Port-au-Prince.
Ok so I've learned a few things about this restoration program. It begins to the public on November 4th and allows only 5000 applicants first come first serve. I asked grok to recommend a law firm to help in the Cincinnati area and it recommend Suhre and associates. I hope they'll be effective and not too expensive. The other thing I learned is that I need at least 3 character references from people that have known me for three years that are not related to me. Would you be willing to be one of my character references? I asked Arcana Shores if she would vouch for me. She's a spiritual advisor sometimes talk to. She said yes. I asked the pastor Bob Schwartz at the church I attend. He said he would be willing to vouch for me. I haven't been to church in a while and I didn't see pastor Bob's wife anywhere. He told me that she fell and hit her head and has a brain hemorrhage with stroke like damage as a result and she can barely move one side of her body because of it. I'll try to...
