That’s a story for another article about how challenging<br />
it was to get where I am, a journey that almost broke<br />
me many times. There were also moments when I had<br />
to stand for the right thing when no one was watching,<br />
and there was no trophy in the end. I am proud of these<br />
things that I fought so hard for in a field for other women,<br />
minorities, and everyone that needed my support –<br />
that’s what matters.Through hard work, I was able to<br />
rub shoulders with the greatest minds and geniuses that<br />
were leaders in their fields. I became a vital and valued<br />
member of their world. All of that is great; however,<br />
the piece that holds my heart is helping people make<br />
a difference in their lives. It’s my true passion and not<br />
the awards and recognition or trying to be part of a high<br />
society. I found my passion, and I know that is something<br />
I am great at because an immigrant life starting at below<br />
ground zero conditioned me for it. It is true that dreams,<br />
hard work, perseverance, and a good heart will make a<br />
person successful, genuinely happy, and fulfilled.<br />
Now, in addition to being a Professor, I am also a<br />
REALTOR® at eXp Realty LLC, Team Leader, and<br />
businesswoman. I am tapping into all of what I have<br />
learned to be the best that I can be to help others.<br />
Someone asked me, “Is it about money that I am doing<br />
all of those things?” No, it is about a desire to be free, it<br />
is about the ability to help others, and money is just a byproduct.<br />
I’m grateful for this journey as it has made me<br />
a strong, diligent, and appreciative person. I found what<br />
I was searching for – my American Dream of success,<br />
a good work ethic, perseverance, a good heart, and<br />
freedom. I also learned a valuable lesson: be yourself and<br />
not only believe in your dreams but most importantly<br />
take action and go for it! Be consistent; hard work is<br />
required to get there, and success is around the corner.<br />
Money comes and goes; eventually, it is just a number on<br />
your account. Be prepared for when the success arrives<br />
and help others because that will bring you the greatest<br />
joy. Build a legacy that you can be proud of.<br />
