I agree! When discouragement hits, I find it really helpful to hear encouraging stories like that one. There was also an article I read about a Kurdish refugee who became (iirc) a doctor. I need to find that one again.

"Having someone show you what the opportunity is, how to approach it, and how to get it with confidence, someone who is always pushing you to the next level and thinking about your pathway—it takes someone greater than you to hold your hand. It’s not all about hard work. You need direction. All the opportunities that were available to me were made available because of people in the church, mentors, and the Katz Foundation. Someone like me becoming a cardiologist could only happen in America.”
