When I decided to write the story of my early years growing up in poverty，many of my friends and family members were were more interested in my story of success，such as how I was able to create the nation's largest law firm and sell it to a bank，“How does one sell a law firm for millions of dollars？”That's the story everyone wanted me to write，but it's not the story I wanted to tell.
Looking back，I see so clearly how often，throughout my boyhood，I was touched by the acts of kindness that helped shape me into the man I am the acts of violence and ignorance played just a powerful role in making me who I a successful lawyer involves hard work，but escaping generational poverty is the hardest thing I have ever chose to write the story of my childhood years in poverty，with the hope that a child somewhere in the world will read my story and be inspired to break the cycle of poverty.
My publisher was quick to point out that the market would be small for a memoir (回忆录) written by an unknown everyone's surprise，the book received over 1，000 pre­publication orders one month before the scheduled launch date (发行日)．The book launch scheduled for October 1，2009，was moved up to September 14， than four months later，the first print run of 5，000 hardbound copies (精装版) were sold out.
Today，the memoir is being used by universities，high schools and middle schools，as a case study of the behavioral example of the culture of poverty as well as valuable lessons on how to succeed in life.
Here are words from a president of a middle school in Texas on October 27，2010，who is using my memoir for students 5th through 8th grades：“We are halfway through your is changing the lives of our students and the views of our teachers.”

For my grandmother's 70th birthday，my family and I visited South there，I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.
I was surprised by how different Korea's public high schools are from America' high schools ca n be all­girls，all­boys or co­ed (男女同校的) unlike our standard co­ed high are three grades：“go 1(10th)”，“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”．“Go” is the first syllable of the word “go­deung­hakkyo”，which，simply translated，is “high school”．
In America，unless you want to go to a private school，you don't have to take an entrance Korea，however，students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.
Another difference I couldn't help but notice was the students' very few exceptions，all wear name tag (标牌) with the student's name，grade and homeroom number must also be 's skirts can't be above the upper part of the knee，and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness，and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style，socks and shoes.
The final difference was the setup of the may be 40 students in a classroom，but the number can be less or even more，depending on the population of the town or there are many students per classroom，they are very close，which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch just have ten­minute breaks between each class，students are ranked by their causes strict competition，and Korean students do a lot of help them，all schools have extra study classes after other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on it's only a half day，I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.
Korea's public high schools are clearly different from America' had imagined
them to be just like our schools，but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.
