Kaung’s Climb: From Myanmar to Empowerment in America

Kaung, originally from Myanmar, shares a story of determination, responsibility, and growth. Arriving in the U.S. at age 12, he quickly became the pillar of his family—handling language barriers, cultural differences, and adult responsibilities. From navigating a new school system to building a career as a personal trainer, Kaung’s journey reflects the hard work and drive behind his version of the American dream: building a life he’s proud of and one day retiring his parents.
