Elder K03 drew two drawings: one to describe himself before immigration, and one to describe him as he is today.

In the first drawing, he shared his lifelong dream, one he had nurtured since high school: “My dream was that I would have the biggest farm in the world here [in America].” He envisioned a farm with animals, as well as a large orchard and vegetable farm. He described his ideas for innovations and inventions, which were well ahead of their time: “I had these dreams before 1960, dreams that I would manage my farms and orchard with automated machines.”

However, immigrating to the U.S. shifted his priorities. “I had all these dreams till I was 65 years old but I couldn’t accomplish my dreams due to lack of capital.” Raising his children and providing a good education took precedence. Though he didn’t realize his dreams, he said, “It makes me happy to think about them.”
