10.You have overcome some considerable obstacles, and you have learned and survived.

11.You often worry about what you’re going to do with your life – your career, your family, the next step, etc. – which means you have ambition, passion, drive, and the freedom to make your own decisions.

12.You live in a country that protects your basic human rights and civil liberties.

14.You have a friend or relative who misses you and looks forward to your next visit.

Love, FCM
