You mentioned the struggle, but also there's some sort of reward in that struggle. Give us a little bit of information about the sacrifices you've made along the way. Sure. Look, when I immigrated to the United States with my family, we came here with five suitcases. My mother was pregnant with my brother, and I was just a little boy. I saw what my parents went through. I saw the struggle, but I also saw the American dream. I knew the American dream is something that my parents wanted to accomplish. And they did. I followed their footsteps. And now I want to do that for other people where, you know, they don't have to take those hard lessons and those sleepless, restless nights.
