Together with his dream of becoming a chef one day, they developed into the ultimate catalysts for his decision to live in America. He encountered challenges at the beginning of his life in the USA, like the language barrier. But he believed in his dream and worked hard at it, unshakeable in his conviction that America was and still is the land of opportunity.
