Hello blog,

I am excited to use this year to indulge myself in new startup projects that I was too scared to get involved in before. As you probably already know, I have always wanted to have my own business. One thing I learned after working at EY and other places is that working for others only excites me for a limited period of time, and then my excitement will die down through time. I do not want to specialize in one thing. I want to get the full exposure, get my hands dirty on all aspect of a business. That is entrepreneurship is so appealing to me.

I hate H1B visa lottery, but I do have to thank the unfortunate event which happened to me since it brought me back to school, and give me the time and opportunity to explore the world of startup. This Spring is an exciting time, because I am involved in two startup projects with two loved ones: an online HVAC training business with my American Dad, and a recruiting solution for campus recruiters with my now-husband - Trong Dong. Oh yeah, have I told you that I got married? (on paper :))

Anyway, our startup idea is gaining validation from customer interviews, so hopefully it is getting somewhere.

Trong's green card process is not looking good. His boss, who promised him the GS, now all turned on their words and told him to wait and see. Honestly, these white male are totally entitled and have no ideas how sucky it is to be an immigrant. We are nervous, what can we do now? Trong devoted 4 years there to suck up and they said they do not see him committed long-term there? Fuck off
