I left my country, Myanmar, when I was really young due to various circumstances and went to Malaysia. I came to the United States in 2015, graduated High School in 2018, and am attending post-secondary school with the help of amazing teachers and generous donors. I am forever thankful to them and they have inspired me to be a better person. I am filled with joy, happiness, worthiness, and satisfaction when I can help others. It is crucial for me not only to live for myself but to assist others when they are in need.
