I spent a year in a refugee camp before finding myself here, on the largest platform in Hollywood. Some claim that tales like these only appear in movies. It's happening to me, and I can't believe it. The American dream is this! She has been telling me that my time will come one day for the past 20 years, month after month and year after year. To achieve your dreams, you must have faith in them. On mine, I almost gave up. Keep your dreams alive, everyone out there!"
