If I had the opportunity to speak to a young immigrant girl that just arrived to the U.S. the advice I would have for her would be: ask, speak, search; because there are opportunities out there. And, know that you aren't the only immigrant or the last to come to this country. Many that have come before you have succeeded. It is possible.

No one else has ever opened doors for me - I opened them myself.

Perhaps trying to move away from my problems and focus on the positive is the best I can do.

The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up.

The key to success in life is getting up early.

Thank you for accepting me as I am, with my virtues and defects.

When somebody elses happiness makes you happy, it means you are a person with a big heart.
