I am an Asian American small business owner, and my mother is an immigrant who worked tirelessly to provide me with a better life. Despite facing numerous challenges, including the need to max out her credit cards and rely on food stamps, she never gave up on her goal of providing me with a brighter future.

Along the way, I too have faced many difficulties, including navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship and overcoming societal prejudices. However, I have always been inspired by my mother’s dedication and hard work, which have taught me the importance of perseverance and the value of never giving up, even in the face of adversity.

As a small business owner, I have had to work hard to achieve my goals, but I know that my success has been built on a foundation of hard work and determination. I am grateful for the opportunities that this country has given me to pursue my dreams and make a difference in the world.

My story is just one example of the resilience and determination that immigrants and minorities bring to this country. In a world that sometimes overlooks our contributions and undervalues our unique perspectives, it is more important than ever to celebrate our diversity and the many ways in which we make a positive impact on the world.

I hope that my story can inspire others who may be facing similar challenges or obstacles to never give up on their dreams and to continue fighting for what they believe in. With hard work and determination, anything is possible, and we all have the power to make a difference in the world.
