The Story That Gave Me More Confidence

I have lived here since 2007. There are five members in my family. Since I have moved here, my life has changed from a business woman to a simple student.

Everyday I get up early in the morning, cook breakfast for my family and do some house work before I go to school.
The first month after I came to Oakland, I really really felt bored with my life here. It made me feel like I had lost myself. I thought the United States was not suitable for me to follow my business dream. I really wished to go back to my country.
But one day, fortunately, I found myself. It happened because of a story from my mother.

She had lived in the United States for many years. She had come to America just because she wanted help me to immigrate here. She could not speak even a word of English and did not know the way to go anywhere. I thought it must have been harder and more difficult for her than for me, but she never said a word or wanted to give up her dream of helping me immigrate here.

So I promised myself must not to give up and to forget about going back to Cambodia any more. I made a strong decision that my dream follow would me not me instead of me following my dream. It wouldn’t matter where I was, I would become a business woman again both in my country and here.

I hope you try not to give up your dreams because of having a hard time. Remember the enemy of success is loss of self-confidence. Just try your best to do it!

I believe everything you wish for is not just a dream.

Thanks for reading my story. Please have a good time with your life.
Bye. See you next time.
