He had a lot of difficulty adjusting during his first few years in the US, especially since he was not very familiar with the language and had to take English classes at his school. Other kids also bullied him, but he didn’t know the meaning of many of the derogatory words they used on him. During high school, he had his first business-type experience when he sold goods at a swap meet during weekends. At the age of 16, he got his first job, working at the Santa Ana Kmart, mopping the floor and collecting shopping carts in the parking lot.
