But what's made me who I am today is the fact that I am the son of vietnamese immigrants. My parents came to this country with nothing. They wanted to escape communist Vietnam. They worked hard. With the help of government assistance, they were able to save up enough money to start a small corner market and then eventually buying a home. Realizing the american dream, my parents sacrifice so that I can succeed. And I've dedicated my life to living up to the examples that my parents have set. (01:51–02:01)
