Bio

I am Nicholas Thang. I am from Myanmar, a country in Southeast Asia. As a first-generation student in my family, I am blessed that I have the opportunity to study in the US. I grew up in my home country with my mom, who raised me all on her own. However, I'm currently living with my aunt in Missouri, who's an immigrant and will soon become a citizen of the United States. Despite my mom's finical struggles, my mom has always believed in the priority of education. I am an undergraduate student and currently pursuing my dream of becoming a chemist. As a person who has suffered from PTSD, I know you are beautiful and loved. Do not let negativity make you sad. Everything will be fine. No matter what difficulties you are facing right now, you can overcome it. You are strong and brave. I feel blessed to God for granting me such a wonderful day of life. I strongly believe that imperfection is a natural aspect of being human and mistakes provide us with opportunities for development and growth. With each lesson learned, I am reminded of the endless blessings given to me by God.
