“My mother immigrated to America so that I could obtain opportunities unavailable to me in Vietnam. Completely alone, she provided for my brother and me while assimilating to American culture. I witnessed firsthand how financially difficult and labor intensive life was for an individual lacking higher education. “Overcoming the barriers in my childhood has motivated me to attain success at the highest level. Instead of letting my past define me, I learned to empower myself through improving my community and helping others. I intend to spend my life dedicated to that endeavor.”
