Happy Columbus Day

<p>Back when I was a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6qGwmXZtsE&amp;ab_channel=Movieclips" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">youth</a>, I remember seeing the Columbus Day Parade on the television. Everyone waving the Italian tricolor with the floats going down the street. On the websites for the local news, they would talk about Italian-Americans who built a successful life here in America. It would allow one to reflect on how their own family got on a ship with no money, left the Roman lake to cross the vast Ocean, and arrived in a land welcoming to all peoples. While they left behind their homeland, before them was the land of opportunity. While each day may have been arduous, it was worth it. Back in the old country, a man could put in an honest day&rsquo;s work and end the day in the same position that he started in; with no hope of moving up within society. Here in America, that same man works that same honest day and his position may improve only by a nudge; but day after day, each nudge turns the wheel of success.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@matthew.s.guglielmello/happy-columbus-day-9fa1c1f444eb"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
