One more example from Italian

I read the article by Maria_Bartiromo from Businessweek.com this morning. I was surprised because I only had known her as a business news ancho for CNBC television, hosting stock market news program. Anybody who experienced late 1990s .com booming time should be familiar with her hosting style, I guess. 

However, looking through her wikipedia page, she is really an epitome of an American story of professional success, in a lot aspectives, intelligent, passional, working hard and visional, and others ... yeah. She wrote couple of books and is also a business/financial news reporter for some newspapers and magazines while she hosts television shows.

The thing interests me is that the fact she grew up in Broolyn, NY, "As a teenager, Maria checked coats at her parents' Italian restaurant, at which her father was the chef." (qouted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Bartiromo). That makes American Italian and Chinese as a pair, I'm sure most of people know why I'm saying that ... 

So, a dream- comes-true story again, from an immigrant family from Italy, not China, this time. :-)
