Background

Daniel is a quiet and reserved person. He likes to listen and try to understand before he needs to be understood. This is his story:

Dailey Life

Making a living as an uber driver can be quite difficult. Daniel has lived all over the United States, mainly living in New York, California and now Texas. His goal is to make it back to California once he can save up the money to live there, as he feels the climate is best there.

He thinks weather has so much to do with people and their moods and demeanor. Californians, he thought, were the nicest people, and it’s just because they’ve got warm weather that isn’t oppressive heat. He looks forward to the time when he can afford to be around happier people, as he sees how greatly the attitudes of others affect him, especially in the service industry.

His Perspective

For the most part he lives his life around doing what he has to do, for those few moments when he gets to do what he wants to do. He’s found satisfaction in this process and hasn’t forgotten his Chinese roots of group mentality instead of individualism, which is so common in the new culture he now lives in.

Daniel is engaged and plans to get married in the next two to three years and live with his wife in California. He has no plans to return to live in China, although he does see his own Chinese culture competitiveness come as he talks about the construction around the United States and how much slower it is here than in China.
