One of my friends, Ginny Gong, shares her story. Ginny Gong came to the U.S. from China as a child, grew up at the back of her parents Chinese laundry, and struggled to fit in at school; she dreamed of becoming a teacher. Well, reality exceeded her dreams by far. Why? Because she loved interacting with and caring about people, Ginny didnt stop at teaching. She went on from the classroom to become an administrator in the large countywide school system, then in County government, and finally a spokesperson for a national organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. She was recognized by Maryland Life Magazine and the Womens Heritage Center as one of ten Legendary Women of Maryland in 2011. Ginny believes that the combination of having the mind of an American and the heart of an immigrant has been truly the core of my success.
