Notes

Summary:
In this interview, Jasmin reflects on her upbringing. Growing up in India, she was taught the importance of respect, family, and hard work—values that continue to guide her while building a new life abroad. Her childhood was filled with love, simplicity, and a tight-knit community. Jasmin wants others to understand that most immigrants come with hope and a desire to contribute. “We work hard, respect the rules, and want to build a better life. Not just for ourselves, but also for the communities we join.” ( ,English, )
