'Pathways' Video: Judge Nguyen Cites Lessons in Family's
Flight from Vietnam
U.S.
Court of Appeals Judge Jacqueline H. Nguyen understands the importance
of reaching out to accept opportunities to serve.
In the newest U.S. Courts Pathways to
the Bench video profile,
Judge Nguyen says that her parents had "tremendous' gratitude" for
their opportunities in America, after fleeing Vietnam with their young family
in 1975. In the video, Judge Nguyen encourages others to step out of their
comfort zone – as she did – "to
have the courage and work ethic to accept opportunities that will shape your
life."
The full Pathways to
the Bench video series is available on the U.S. Courts Educational Resources section. While
intended for all audiences, the Pathways videos especially can inspire
high school students and youth groups to overcome obstacles on the way to
achieving dreams.
