​

From my earliest memory as a very young child, I have always been extraordinarily ambitious. In fact, my mother always used to say that she never even had to look at my elementary report cards. I always put more pressure on myself than my parents ever could.

 

My ambitions were not specific to achieving a high grade in a class or placing first in an athletic contest. In fact, they were much more meaningful and profound. 

 

All I ever desired was to someday have my own loving family, a quality education, to participate and give back to the community and to see my children succeed in their respective lives. That was and is my definition of “success”.
