Researching this topic has made me realise that my problems are small in comparison to what Anh Do went through. He had taught me to never give up and you can achieve anything you put your mind to. Have a positive attitude and give it a go.
The highlight for me has been reading his memoir. I was truly inspired when I read the story of his life and background. Anh Do is a fighter and he was able to overcome the adversity in his life and to turn it into something positive.
He is an inspiration and a role model for people to look up to. We should not give up and we should learn that through sheer hard work and a positive attitude you can achieve success and happiness in your life.
He has made a significant contribution to Australia’s identity and heritage. He has done this by immersing himself in Australian culture and having a ‘fair dinkum’ attitude in this vast land of opportunity. As a society we can learn that you need to keep working on your dreams and to never give up.
