和大多数柬埔寨人一样,我是在甜甜圈店里长大的。我们来美国的时候几乎是一穷二白。家徒四壁,身无分文。我不得不让自己快速成长,披星戴月,面对粗鲁的客人。没空调、没网、夏天屋里40多度。
Honestly, I didn't think anything of it, it was life. A life my parents were teaching me to rise above and change with education.In high school, I became president of many clubs and graduated valedictorian.
说实话,我对自己的出身并没多想,这就是生活。我父母告诉我要用教育改变命运。在高中,我成为网球社社长,并且以优秀毕业生身份毕业。
My background only became an obstacle in college, when I learned how different I was from everyone else. Freshmen year, I thought I’d drop out because the heavy reality of being a low-income, first generation, Cambodian woman was no longer a title. But now I'm on my way to becoming one of the first female Cambodian software engineers.
我的出身让我在大学里感到了艰难,我感受到了自己和别人的不同。大学第一年,作为一个收入低微的在美生活的柬埔寨第一代女性,我几乎要退学,现实太沉重了。但现在,我走出了困境,成为柬埔寨第一个女性软件工程师。
I don't see people like me at Berkeley because there isn't a lot of us. I was given an amazing opportunity to create a future that I statistically shouldn't have, and it only takes one person to pave the way.
