The
American-Lebanese
Dream
"You can call me 'Z.' I am a first-generation immigrant who grew up in Chouaifet, Lebanon - a small country in the Middle East. In 2010, I was packing my bags with a one-way ticket to Waco, Texas. All I knew about the United States was from what I had seen in movies, but looking back on that day, I didn’t realize I was actually on a plane seeking 'The American Dream.'
Learning and adapting to a foreign culture was an influence on the person I am today. With a will to succeed and everlasting enthusiasm, I have always found a way to look beyond the horizon. My initial investment wasn’t just money. It was grit and work ethic.
