When my grandmother
emigrated from Russia and arrived in the United States in 1918
she spoke no English. She started school and was placed in a grade
with classmates well below her age. Proud and strong willed even
as a youngster, my grandmother was ashamed and angered by this.
She was afraid that she couldn't overcome these obstacles. A wonderful
teacher, sensing the potential in her young student, challenged
my grandmother and said, "you are an American now, and I
never want to hear you say you can't do something. Remember, the
last four letters of American are I-CAN."
My grandmother graduated high school in America when she was 16
years old, and she has been instilling her character and strength
in her family ever since. Whenever my brothers and I are faced
with a challenge wejust think of my grandmother and remember,
ICAN. That philosophy permeates everything
we do at ICAN, and we hope it extends to our customers. We thrive
on challenges and are prepared to help our customers overcome
their own business challenges. We never want our customers to
say "I can't" because we know that with effort, attention
to detail, and follow through, YOU CAN. That is our philosophy
and our promise to every one of our customers. If you have a
question or a problem, if other people say they can't help you
... remember ... ICAN.
