Born and raised in South Vietnam, Daisy dreamed of becoming a model and imagined how it would be to wear different clothes and march down the catwalk. “Both my parents were doctors who worked for thirty-two years. My father was the director of the Medical Center and my mother was the head of the Obstetrics department. Despite their low wages which were not at par with the big hospitals, my parents had a heart for service and preferred to attend to, and treat patients in a small town where they lacked doctors and medical resources. I spent more time in the medical staff room than at home and saw first-hand the hard work and dedication of my parents to their patients and this instilled the value of helping others. I…
