Among the many stories I’ve shared, this is probably the one that comes up most often, not only among international students but also among American students at Fordham University. I’ve been told repeatedly how recalling this story empowers them in their journey to build security in foreign countries and apply for jobs.I decided to take a break from YouTube for a while because I missed writing and making time for quiet contemplation. But on this Father’s Day, I want to do something different... 🙆🏻‍♀️My dad doesn’t speak English and he’s not even on social media, but I feel compelled to share his wisdom with the world, knowing his teachings have positively impacted my journey and deeply shaped who I am today ✨ While I don’t talk about it often, it’s been a long journey for me to grow into not only admitting but also appreciating my dad’s influence on me.Here is one of his pieces of advice that has changed my perspective entirely, liberating my mentality like no other throughout my journey in the US.Happy Father’s Day! 🫶 👇 Visit Bloom in Crisis direct link below for more wisdom from my dad:https://www.bloomincrisis.com/blog/tags/phu-nguyen[Watch on YouTube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMXRp2KiNHM&t=1shttps://www.bloomincrisis.com/blog/tags/phu-nguyen Bloom in Crisis is the embodiment of hope, born from the belief that moments of uncertainty and hardship can become clarity, compassion, and intentional growth 🌱 Having experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating difficult times alone, Zip Nguyen began blogging when the pandemic struck in 2020, later expanding her reflections through a podcast and YouTube channel.
