“My parents have been my motivation and inspiration for success spanning from my education to personal experiences. The biggest lesson I learned was the importance of sacrifice and determination. As immigrants, my parents sacrificed and left behind everything to build a better future for us. Despite the obstacles along the way, they never wavered in their determination. Their continuous resilience shown me that success is possible. Because of them, I make the most out of every opportunity handed to me.”
