#Emotional ❤️ “My grandma (Mama) was raised on a rice field in the Philippines. She grew up in poverty and did not have the opportunity to complete high school. Mama worked incredibly hard as a small business owner to give her daughter and grandchildren a better life than she ever had. She later sold everything she had to move to the US where she got a job cleaning slot machines for a casino.
Mama inspired me to reach for my dreams. I completed my engineering degree, received my medical degree, and fought on the front lines of the pandemic as a physician —- all while inspired and motivated by my grandma’s hard work and struggles. She took care of me during my hardest years of med school and never once asked for anything in return.
She didn’t get to see my @Barbie on display the first time because she was in the hospital. Showing her was one of the highlights of my entire life 🙏 I love you, Mama!” #wildestdreams #Sharegood #PowerofHumans
