This is the type of mentality that won’t get Hmong people anywhere, changes are necessary for progress. Questioning ideas and processes are only going to make us better. We are behind other cultures that’s why we have to work harder to catch up or even surpass them. “Remember we are Hmong and if we are a low class we don't need them to proof anything.” I really hate it when people don’t believe in themselves, becoming the best always starts out with belief. We are behind because we never had the resources growing up, not because we are not as smart or a lower class. Like you said we have to give our children the opportunity to become the best they can be and help them strive for more instead of settling for something easy. Being the first generation was hard because we didn't really have any help. We now understand what we can do to help move the community forward. Elders are still very important but we now live in a society where we should shift gears into putting kids first because they are our future. Life here is not about working the fields anymore, it’s very complex now and requires kids to have a lot of attention and encouragement to better succeed. Spending money in the right way is a big deal and being a leader in the community you are influencing future generations. We want to know how the money is being used to benefit the Hmong community because it is super important, it can make a big difference in how we progress here in the united states.
