After her round, Khang — who carded six birdies and two bogeys in conditions far more pleasant than the opening round, which was played in oppressive heat and humidity — talked about the lengths her parents had gone to pursue the American Dream for themselves and their daughter.
Her parents were children when they fled Laos with their families after the Vietnam War. They don’t remember a great deal from that time, Megan indicated, with spotty recollections of having to wait in Thailand before being granted asylum in the United States.When Lee Khang was 7, his older brothers arranged to have a boat meant for six passengers carry a dozen or so family members across the Mekong River into Thailand.
After Lee quit the mechanic business, the Khangs made ends meet solely on Nou’s teaching income, hardly enough to allow for a membership at a golf club.Khang, 24, said she was one of perhaps three Asian students at her high school, but her parents made certain to keep her embedded in the Hmong culture by attending events such as Hmong New Year’s parties, often with other relatives. They did not, however, teach her to speak Hmong, concerned it would interfere with her command of English.
Am not a golfer, but your goals & objectives are most honorable. Good luck to you.
