I bumped in to her long time ago 2010 in New York. And she was the sweetest person I've ever met. She said whatever you wanna do, trust yourself and believe in your dream. I really love her. You go Girl!!
Michele Phan is absoloutly beautiful! She is not perfect,but is being the best she can be and encouraging others to be the same! Her videos are the reason i smile when i look at myself in the mirror. She has helped and inspired me so much!God bless her heart!
Wow that just made me tear up. Beautifully heartfelt Michelle and we are all so proud of you and happy for your success. Ok omg stop crying now... Me....
I agree so much with Michelle Phan I was told the same thing by my fam and to go into the medical field but it's not what I wanted todo I went to school for cosmetology and took graphic design in college Thank God for such an inspirational person like her
How inspiring! I just finished watching this video and immediately asked my 12 year-old daughter to stop what she was doing and watch this video. I too want her to find those interests she's passionate about and pursue them. Thanks!
I absolutely love this! So many of us are in the same place she was years ago. We are all told what we want to be but only deep down we know the truth.
I think it's awesome that this is inspiring Asian Americans, or just anyone of any race, to follow their passions. The parents of this one kid of my school kicked his brother out because he wanted to major in art instead of going to medical school. It's time to change that thinking. Thank you for being inspiring Michelle:)
Absolutely loved this. Being raised by an Asian family and being the first born as well, I have more pressure especially when it comes to things like this. Helped me realize I can be what I want to be, not the mathematician they want. :)
So do I. It's heartbreaking how many followers want to limit her as make up artist when she's so much more. Michelle sure got glitter running through her veins, I feel she's a magical being
I have such strong inner connection with Michelle and sometimes it kind freaks me out cause her point of view matches mine perfectly! The way she answers to questions is exactly how I would answer to those questions too! You're such an inspiration, Michelle! I'm from Vietnam and my mother wants me to be a doctor too, but I don't really find my passion in it tbh! I really don't want to disappoint her! I have 2 more years to deal with this (I'm in grade 11) wish me luck!
Michelle, speaking as a father-I applaud your efforts and ambition. you are an inspiration to all young people and a lesson for us-the older generation. I also had dreams of my daughter becoming a lawyer or doctor...I wanted her to be secure. She wanted to be a writer. After some lean years-she is very successful-but more important to me...very happy. Sure-I could've (and thought about it) pushed her into the safe secure path I had envisioned-but her heart wouldn't have been in it...and she is a much better writer than she would've been as a doctor. It is no one's business what our particular passions are-provided we harm no one. Keep up the good work young lady.
Nice. I liked you before and started hating watching your videos but after watching this, makes me think and see you as I did in the beginning. We're all human and nothing is perfect but we can do the best we can. Thanks for this. Bravo!
Ronny Chieng has the FUNNIEST bit about Asian parents wanting their kids to be doctors. The beginning of Pham's story reminded me of that. HIGHLY recommended!
Michelle i love you,& your story is just like mine, my mom raised me my brother & my sister on her own,& came to this country with almost nothing.I'm just a thing girl trying to be successful :)
The struggle of having POC parents tbh. This is truly inspiring but one thing is missing... She forgot to mention the part when she practiced hard while working x100 more than most people so she can make a difference. Here's why following a passion and make money out of it ain't that easy. I mean it's not for everyone unless you're willing to make some sacrifices. Remember that everyone is not as brave as Michelle and that's why she earned my utmost respect.
"it doesn't matter how small your beginnings are... all that matters is just how big your passions ." i think we're doing good as Asian Americans too. Well said!!!
U are sooooo inspiring... im asian and want to do things like u did and what u still doing.. i love make up so much but i dont have the gut to show it in public.... btw good luck in your journey and whats ahead... love u...
When you feel like that, when you're clueless, think from your childhood what's been a constant through your life, what called your attention, what caught your eye, what do you feel is vital for you to feel happy and sane (don't listen others opinions!). That way you should find the answer, but if not, just try different areas: music, technology, social media, interpersonal relations, commerce, etc, and then if you feel your fond of some area, work it, specialice on sth more specific
typical Vietnamese mom =)) my mom want me to be something big too but then she just let me have my way and choose to do what I love gosh I love her so much
You are a true inspiration :) my passion is helping others..this is why I chose to study psychology. At first my parents had no clue what this is.. And they were telling me to do something related to environment, which I liked a bit but wasn't that passionate about. This is why I started my youtube channel, I wanna help others, encourage them, motivate, and inspire them. My next video (2nd one) will be anti-rape ..for all survivors out there, you can send me a message and I will try my best to help. Stay strong!
Awww i love her ever since reading her seventeen magazine interview T_T i feel like when i was young (i was and sometimes still am very stupid) i jumped on this hate bandwagon against her and augh i dont fcking know why (yes i do - it was bc i was stupid and jealous probably lol) bc she went through so much but still does her own thing and is so strong and positive >
Thats nice,good for you. Its good that you know who supports you and take your passion seriously. But not everyone has it like that. Some parents out there refuse to support anything other than what they want.
I need some advice or hint from a dancer...I see myself being a dancer and my parents wants me to be a nurse. Honestly, dancing is my kind of life to inspire others if I can means they can too. It takes dedication to put your time and effort willing to see the process.
My mom wants me to be a doctor too!! At the beginning i didnt want to but now i feel like i wanna do that its my passion cuz i can be a doctor and draw and sing and ........ You dont have to be pro you just have to show ppl u love the thing and can do it !!! I cant needs a✂ to become I can ...!!!!!
I bumped in to her long time ago 2010 in New York. And she was the sweetest person I've ever met.
She said whatever you wanna do, trust yourself and believe in your dream. I really love her. You go Girl!!

Going to art school is great! What was her Mom thinking?! There is a very important one in the city where I live! Just an hour by air from Boston!
I agree so much with Michelle Phan
I was told the same thing by my fam and to go into the medical field but it's not what I wanted todo
I went to school for cosmetology and took graphic design in college
Thank God for such an inspirational person like her

How inspiring! I just finished watching this video and immediately asked my 12 year-old daughter to stop what she was doing and watch this video.
I too want her to find those interests she's passionate about and pursue them.

She is honest and pretty. She's real. And that's what I love about her.

Janelle!!!! Yeah I totally agree

Also Michelle you are totally amazing! We need more women out there like you since you really are an inspirational role model.
Absolutely loved this. Being raised by an Asian family and being the first born as well, I have more pressure especially when it comes to things like this. Helped me realize I can be what I want to be, not the mathematician they want. :)
She's SO smart & beautiful!! What an inspiration to all women of all ages!! You are a pioneer!! :)
Cried and Michelle phan you are my idol thank you for making me feel more confident and making some of my insecurities disappear xxx 😘💖💯💋
You are such an insprirational person! I'd watched your "draw my life" video but still feel so touching with this :)
I love how she mentioned just bc you're not the best, you can't pursue you're passion.
You're such an inspiration, Michelle.
Michelle Phan is so inspiring! Be Blessed Michelle in all you do :)

This is something that I can relate to soo much because my mom has the same expectations as Michelle's. I still don't know what I want to do yet.....
So inspiring, love you Michelle
This was so inspirational! I was able to totally relate. I even cried
So inspiring!!

Still love you!
I am so glad my parents never forced me to be a doctor even if we're Asian,I get to do what I love which is architecture ^_^
Michelle, you're an inspiration! :)
Well what if you don't know what you're passionate about? I've tried finding it but.. :(
+DeM0nicStaRZ same .....:(
+DeM0nicStaRZ Do lots of new things...sometimes a thing that might seem stupid or boring to you at first might turn out to be your passion or talent !
When you feel like that, when you're clueless, think from your childhood what's been a constant through your life, what called your attention, what caught your eye, what do you feel is vital for you to feel happy and sane (don't listen others opinions!).

You are truly awesome

"...three companies that I am CEO...?" No honey, not a question! You made it! Keep it up!!!
I'd love Lucy Liu to be part of this series! Someone I know directed her in one of his movies.
Beautiful story
Awww i love her ever since reading her seventeen magazine interview T_T i feel like when i was young (i was and sometimes still am very stupid) i jumped on this hate bandwagon against her and augh i dont fcking know why (yes i do - it was bc i was stupid and jealous probably lol) bc she went through so much but still does her own thing and is so strong and positive >
That was really beautiful
How did I get from boxing vids to michelle phan...TH-cam you crazy!
Such an inspiration
I love art too!
I go to an arts college , my parents always support me and do everything. I am always crazy about drawing and painting as well as dancing.
Thats nice,good for you. Its good that you know who supports you and take your passion seriously. But not everyone has it like that. Some parents out there refuse to support anything other than what they want.
This is one of the most inspiring videos!1
솔직히 뭐라는지 모르겠다..ㅠㅠ.. good luck!! 늘 동영상 잘 보고 있어요♥.♥
Loveeee u michelle

You are awesome!
I Love You Mish
Very inspired
I need some advice or hint from a dancer...I see myself being a dancer and my parents wants me to be a nurse. Honestly, dancing is my kind of life to inspire others if I can means they can too. It takes dedication to put your time and effort willing to see the process.
I love you michelle!
This is so inspiring!
Loved the video. I really wanna be an artis and a singer, but don't have the confident
Côn chòu cô. côn then la trinh. tried my best on the writing. still learning. I am Vietamise too!
