Son of first-generation immigrants. My parent risked much to come here to the United States to provide for my siblings. Growing up, my parents worked tirelessly to provide the best environment they could to so that I could have a proper education despite our lack of resources. Today, after a long and hard journey, I stand as one of the first university graduates in my family and intend to pay my family back for their support and sacrifices.
