I am, the youngest daughter of Asian immigrants who came to America for a better life. Me, growing up and living in America am currently trying to find and live the "American Dream". But what is this American Dream we all talk about? Initially I had this impression that it meant having to be successful in life, but eventually you realize that everybody has a different meaning of success. I found myself involuntarily falling into societal norms of contributing to the Asian stereotype of working at a nail salon. My aunt owned a nail shop, and that's how it all began for me. My entire life up until now I've been working in the service industry, not knowing my own worth and potenial. I found myself drawn more to the logical aspect of situations I've always been put in, whether it be at work , or in life in general, thus bringing me to finding my path as a developer. I was more satiated in mediating, problem solving, and seeing people's reactions when their problems were solved. I can honestly say now, that all those years of customer service made a huge impact on how I empathize with others. By being able to empathize, as a developer, I'll be able to create a product that is more considerate and catered to those who I'm creating for. Unlocking my inner ambitions and possibly making a difference is the end goal.

Hey Jessie, I really appreciate the themes you have in here about your determination to be true to your specific dreams and not fall prey to other expectations. That is such a great way to show your character. I would like to see you take these ideas you've presented and connect them to software more explicitly. You talk about how you want to be swayed, keep trying to find your path, etc. -- how did your path lead you to software development? Why is this definitely the career for you? What are you excited about doing in this career? Bringing in these specifics will make this stronger. Let me know if you want to talk through this any further!
