"My mom crossed the ocean so I can touch the sky.." Wonderfully expressed. Congratulations, Amanda Nguyen. You are the pride of the whole Vietnamese overseas refugees community.
Amanda did not tell the whole story; she should have said " My parent crossed the ocean on the rickety boat to escape the commie, aka Vietcong, to search for freedom."
And remember Communism is still the existential threat to humanity, as the utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie regime still rules Vietnam now, as when it invaded the free and prosperous Republic of South Vietnam in 1975, hence the reason for Amanda parents' becoming boat people in the first place to escape Commie atrocities.
I'm from the Philippines not Vietnam but I too am crying with you and very moved by that quote. The Philippines took many of Vietnam's war refugees on their way to freedom. Fly high, Amanda!
Congrats Amanda! What an amazing accomplishment. We must not forget how our father and mother fought and sacrificed for freedom during the VN War. Many Vietnamese risked their lives at sea for their beliefs in democracy. Many Vietnamese were imprisoned for their beliefs in democracy. Thank you for sharing your story!!!
Wow congrats Amanda! way to represent all the overseas Vietnamese refugees and all the sacrifice that our boat parents had gone through. Proud! Yes we can! Thanks Katie phang for shedding the light.
As a Dad and one of the "Boat People" in the 80s', I am so humbled and proud to witness your successful journey and to be a part of your community. Thank you and your parents, best wishes!
As a Vietnamese refugee myself I'm very proud of you Amanda. You will make us - Vietnamese refugees - known to the public that we are such great contributors to this land which we all love. Good Amanda. Go! 👍 And I can't wait to see the first Vietnamese refugee Noble Prize Winner Amanda Nguyen too.
Congratulations Amanda , you are first Vietnamese woman fly to universe , that is great happiness of Vietnamese community in USA and southern Vietnamese women in domestic 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is so amazing! She is a real life hero. Fighting for women victims and their rights! It took courages n strength to speak out n share your tragedy. This is so AWESOME!
" My mom crossed the ocean so I can touch the sky ". Few words said it all... Love and respect this young Vietnamese American woman, she made us proud.
I had not heard of her before now. So many accomplishments at such a young age. And, one of those accomplishments (like it or not) was 'flying under the radar' of the public and the media. Congratulations to Amanda. I wish her the best on her next journey.
Freedom is the most important in life. If we don't have freedom. We cannot make our dreams come true. Thank you America for giving us the opportunities and for all of the people who love freedom the chance to be successful in America 🇺🇲
So proud of you, Amanda, carrying Vietnamese heritage with you, being a role model for all Vietnamese males or females, best wishes and thank you 🙏🫶❤️!
Sweet Amanda ! You are the real role model for all of the Vietnamese young women overseas in the world .Best wishes and lot of Love from Australia.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Your dreams matter." Thanks for such a heartwarming and isightful interview, MSNBC. Congratulations to Amanda Nguyen! Her parents must be proud to know their daughter's life journey included living with excellence on Earth and having her excellence firever captured among the stars. Best wishes to Amanda and her family! 🎉🎉🎉
Her family is vietnamese so technically she represents all vietnamese people and should be proud, I don't care for communist and I don't care for your stupid option enough so please shut up if you don't know what I was saying.
Yes .... Immigrants coming to this country and becoming the greatest people is what USA is all about. This is why we're the greatest country.. it's the immigrants that make it great.. my family 300 years ago. And we didn't leave a mark like these people did..
@@LynnLee-e8h so you're saying your ancestors had written permission from indigenous people to enter their lands? Most of us didn't ask, or find land that was unoccupied _before_ the armies came.
@@LynnLee-e8h the people who came here on the Mayflower were not legal. lol I'm sure you know that but you're being pretentious. After the native people helped them through some cold winters to survive the turned around and back stabbed them.
Whatever the causes were/are once you are here, think of our country first and achieve our American dreams like others. It’s stupid to go back and back m far back just to justify or fight who were here first, who owned slaves, ect… unless you can change history and go back to the past. Move forward and help our country for a better version and make a great examples for next generation 🇺🇸❤
A lovely, positive, heart-warming story we so need in these troubled, terrible times, experiences too often filling the news. Go Amanda - as a representative of all so called disadvantaged...
Very proud of you Amanda! You not only represent your Vietnamese People but any Asian Ethnicity out there that Anything is possible with hard work, dedication, persistence, and resilience. 🎉 Congrats and may you accomplish anything your heart, mind, and soul desired. ♥️
I am proud of her and her Vietnamese origin, she is a great successful Vietnamese American story and a shining role model for woman all over the world, It takes a wonderful democratic freedom loving country like the US that provides the opportunities for all citizens to shine regardless of their origins, woman like her will never have the same opportunities in the socially, culturally & politically oppressive country where her family originated from. she is a Vietnamese-American success story
My mom crossed the ocean so I can touch the sky...... these are beautiful words and strong message to the young and all others. Freedom is not free but along with determination and sacrification from all suffering, even death because so many of us like her mom at that time. Congratulations to young Vietnamese American, proud of you...😊
Ms. Nguyen, I am so proud of you! Not only because of your work, but more importantly because of the compassion, tenacity, dedication & vision in you that drive it. “Keep reaching for the stars” as they say it! With warmth & admiration! (Another boat person)
The sky _isn't_ the limit for some of us. Amanda is one of those. Limits don't need (or seem) to be in her vocabulary, and if you're out there with a big dream, accept no limits you don't place for yourself.
You know there is a joke in Vietnamese community that the first man on the moon was Chú Cuội, but we don't have to joke about that any longer! Because we have Amanda Nguyen now! Our children will find this useful. 🙏🇺🇸🇳🇱💛

越南的天空不是天空吗？这位女士对美国的拉和对越南的踩真是过分。最少越南人有上网自由而我们中国人没有。
@5:38 "...My mom crossed the ocean so that I cold touch the sky." Chills and tears, what a sweetheart. Congrats!
i met her parents were good friends
Tears in my eyes hearing that. I too crossed the ocean from Vietnam as a refugee. Very grateful! Thank you America 🇺🇸

Such a proud moment for Vietnamese everywhere.
Not for Vietnamese communists because Amanda's mom had to cross the ocean so she can touch the sky. Beautiful & powerful words. Love those words.
❤
Beautiful words “She made the world safe before taking off to space.”
You GO AMANDA!! You represent vietnamese people
She represents Vietnamese American not communist Vietnamese
Her family is vietnamese so technically she represents all vietnamese people and should be proud, I don't care for communist and I don't care for your stupid option enough so please shut up if you don't know what I was saying.

It depends on what kind of people. Not ALL immigrants like to work hard and contribute to society. For example, Gypsies. Go ahead , tell me I'm wrong.
Whatever the causes were/are once you are here, think of our country first and achieve our American dreams like others. It’s stupid to go back and back m far back just to justify or fight who were here first, who owned slaves, ect… unless you can change history and go back to the past.

Very proud! Not just as a Vietnamese but as a fellow human-being!

So proud!! Congratulations Amanda!!
so so proud of you Amanda Nguyen !
Shouldn't we call her a Vietnamese American?
nah, racist black and white Americans would have a field day with that.
lol ...I don't think they know the difference! 🙂
Yes, you are correct, otherwise she will be mistaken as a female citizen from Vietnam. She is an American.
@@TheOktaxi She is American of Vietnamese descent (technically American born Vietnamese ABV or American Vietnamese).
She was born in the USA, she is an American period. You don't call Trump the first German U.S. president, because his back ground was from Germany.
Congratulations Amanda 🎉🎉 You are a strong and brave young lady.
