Linda Kreter: 我认为戴安娜的故事展现了克服标签和挑战的力量。她作为亚裔女性移民,在美国社会中面临许多困难,但她凭借着坚韧的毅力和积极的心态,最终取得了成功。她的故事鼓舞人心,告诉我们不要被标签所定义,要勇敢地追求自己的梦想。我认为她的经历体现了勇气、力量和生存本能,这些品质帮助她走得很远。与其抱持受害者心态,不如积极寻找解决方案,改变自己的命运。 Diana Ponsky: 我认为保持积极的心态,相信自己能够改变现状非常重要。如果把自己看作是受害者,就会觉得无能为力。相反,如果相信自己能够找到解决方案,就能克服困难。我从小就面临许多标签和挑战,但我没有让它们定义我。我努力学习英语,融入美国社会,并最终成为一名外科医生。我认为我的成功并非偶然,而是源于我的努力和决心。我一直坚信,只要努力,就能找到解决问题的方法。我一直努力保持积极的态度,相信自己可以找到解决问题的方法。即使面对困难,我也不会轻易放弃。
