a cab driver

 Setting: on a cab to an airport in NYC

Dio, from the Ivory Coast! Ambitious and hard working. Going to college and driving a cab to support himself. 

He told me this is the first time he could talk to someone who could understand what he's going through, as an international student. 

..people are lonely not because they are not surrounded by others, but because they couldn't find one who would understand them. 

and when you would have found one, even when it is a stranger, it could give you the strength you need to go on, knowing you are no longer alone!

I believe this kind and hardworking spirit will make it big!
