This personal story of a Russian immigrant is about how hard work and persistence can bring personal and professional success. Oksana Davletshina came to America with her husband and 3 children in November 2016 seeking asylum. It was a big change in every aspect of their life. In Russia she was a Juris Doctorate (JD) in Law, her husband was a judge. They were happy and successful. In America they started their life again, doing dirty jobs to provide for their kids. But, working hard and with all their hearts, they have overcome all challenges.
