“How can i give my children all the things I never had without allowing them to become complacent? How do I teach them that America is a land of opportunity but was never meant to be a place of entitlement? How do I allow them comfort and ease, but instill in them the value of hard work? How do I allow them to grow up in America, but still pass on that tap root my parents left to me?”
― Dr. Vinh Chung
