'I did not accomplish this level of success alone. I was fed and cared for by others, so that I could study, learn, and achieve. I fell apart each time I thought I was doing it alone, only to be picked up by others and be reminded that I wasn't.'
then asks us to continue selling these myths to others, to use our story as evidence and encouragement for people on a similar journey. You’ve heard it before: If I, as a 1.5 generation immigrant, can accomplish this, then you, fellow hardworking individual, can, too.
Except, I’m not here to sell anyone anything. To start, I am a terrible salesperson. I really am. It’s the reason I never made any commissions at sales jobs and why I was eventually let go from my first kiosk job as a teenager. But, more importantly, I’m not going to sell someone bullshit. In case no one has let you in on this little secret: our education system is very fucking rigged and very broken.
This degree isn’t just mine; it’s because of and for all of us. I did not accomplish this level of success alone. I was fed and cared for by others, so that I could study, learn, and achieve. I fell apart each time I thought I was doing it alone, only to be picked up by others and be reminded that I wasn’t. I found myself, my passions, and my purpose in this world thanks to their relentless love and support.
