QUOTABLES:

“I can't even fathom the thought of me coming into this country, after my parents leaving it all behind and making so many sacrifices for me, to just sit on my ass and be average. I came here for a reason, and my parents made all that sacrifice for a purpose.”

“You have no idea how many times, by myself and my own thoughts, in my own little awareness bubble, I've said, if I've done it once, I can do anything; if I adjusted to that, I can adjust to anywhere.”
