Well,
majority of us who live in USA probably know what I am talking
about. I am talking about the lifestyle of some Bangladeshi's
living in the United States of America. I can't speak for
everyone else but me. I am very fortunate that I am here,
working, making US $$ and able to support my family in Bangladesh.
Sometime all these things come with a price.
When
my parents in Bangladesh ask for financial help, I am always
there for them. They also expect that from me too. Because
they know I live in USA. Dollars comes easy from US and
makes it even 55 time better in Bangladesh. It also give
me a large satisfaction to be there for them.
At
my young age, I am already used to working in two jobs.
Here is a little run down of a typical day in the USA. Many
of you who live in US probably relate to my life.
At
5.15 in the morning my day begin. After an usual routine
morning stuff, I head out of my apartment at 5.45 am. Six
days a week my work is an parking lot attendant. Till 2.00
pm everyday, I collect money from those who park in an underground
parking space of a high rise downtown building. Its not
that bad. I like it - I feel for $8.25 an hour its easy
work, sit on a chair for 8 hours. I get to see thousands
of people and say "hi" to them. My day off is
Saturday of every week which is also cool at least I have
a day off in weekend.
Well
by 2.30 pm I am home. I get an hour of break. At 4.00 pm
I start my 2nd job in a national chain electronics store
called "Circuit City". I work there as an Television
Salesman. This job isn't that bad either. Only thing is
I have to stand for 5 hours. I work every day of the week
here. The pay isn't that bad too.
By
the time I come home it is almost 10.00 pm. In a summer
night its not that bad. But in winter its really horrible.
Sometimes it rain or snow which makes it more difficult
to get home.
The
best part of my day begin when I come home and hit the bed.
I close my eye and rest is history. Would you call this
life is hard, for some may be and for some not really, but
for me I am used to it.
