When you come here as a refugee, the country is saying, "We'll take you on."
00:00:03
And so, I think there is a burning desire to prove to everyone, I am not a burden on this country. I know you gave
00:00:09
me a shot. I promise you, I will contribute. There was a time when my dad really wanted to get a degree. He didn't
00:00:15
need to cuz he was making okay money. He was a Tyler and then drove taxis at night, but on the weekends would also
00:00:21
manage a KFC. Oh, three jobs. Yeah. The hustle is deep. All the children of migrants and refugees listening to this
00:00:27
will know exactly what I mean. The hustle is deep. It's the main reason why I work so hard now is because I'm like,
00:00:33
who are you to not work hard? You know, like, how can you not work hard when your parents went through that? Your
00:00:38
uncle went through that. My granddad just kind of like mowed lawns and trimmed people's trees like a madman
00:00:43
until he had enough to buy a house. And he bought a house.
