I always say.. one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me was bringing me to the US when I was 5 years old. Legally that is lol 😅. Immigration was not an easy process. They paid their dues and patiently waited. I didn't understand how much they sacrificed and struggled as a kid. But looking back... They gave up a lot to bring me here. I just want them to see that it was not in vain. I want to make them proud.

Perfect date for it: 10/10. Also signifies the 10/10 effort and hard work you’ve put in over many years too. Your family can be very proud of you too - you’ve all supported each other so well. Exciting to see a new chapter unfold. And what better person to run the company than the guy who treats every colleague at any level with the utmost respect. That’s the hallmark of a great boss, and you’ve got it.
