The entirety of the family on my mom’s side came over to the United States from Vietnam, working many jobs at once to keep the family on track. They had to adapt to America by learning English to communicate with those around them, although learning such tasks could be very complicated and hard to understand. Their hard work paid off, leading my certified uncles, aunts, and mother to open their successful nail salon businesses in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. 
However, the family businesses did not just stop there, there are cousins who opened their own salons from skills they learned from their parents after going to school to get a license. My other cousins also opened their own business selling Boba Tea, with the help of the family members already having their own businesses. I will learn a lot from them and hopefully receive a lot of support if I ever decide to establish something of my own, something to pass down to someone I love and trust much.
