My immigrant parents along with the rest of the neighbourhood arrived with next to nothing, lived in poverty for many years, worked long and hard hours, and built themselves up to a more comfortable living. So where do I start with all the people who have inspired me? People who have instilled a good work ethic, perseverance, hope, patience, humility, etc?
