"My job isn't what I've always dreamed of, but it's definitely helping me get there," shares a young Mexican woman about her experience working long hours at an Italian restaurant in the United States alongside her partner. With sincerity and straightforwardness, Gisell_LG details their journey of living the so-called "American Dream" while facing challenges that demand effort and sacrifice.
In her video, @gisell_lg contemplates the journey they are undergoing to reach their goals, acknowledging that their current job isn't their ultimate aspiration. "What I want to share with you is that every process leads to a result, and sometimes we have to do things we're not particularly fond of. The key is that it's temporary and moves us closer to our own dreams and goals," she mentions at one point.
The content creator emphasizes that even though she and her partner hold university degrees, their academic qualifications haven't been required for the work they are currently doing in the U.S. "To come here and work, you don't need many qualifications. If you're willing to get up early, work hard, and put in long hours, you've got it," she asserts. Additionally, she highlights how social media often only showcases the results, like houses or trips, but not the sacrifices made to achieve them.
The video quickly garnered reactions, accumulating over 2,200 likes and dozens of comments. Some users resonated with her story, with one stating, "I also work in a restaurant; it's not the job I wanted, but it's helping fulfill my dreams." Others expressed admiration: "A truly strong Mexican woman! Being in a foreign country requires a lot of effort; may God help you achieve your dreams." However, some comments were critical: "Please, don't belittle those with degrees or engineering backgrounds."
Most comments praised Gisell's determination and optimism, emphasizing the importance of staying focused on one's goals despite challenges. "Don't lose hope; it's your process and your fight. Even if it's not the most glamorous job, it's helping you get closer to your goals," Gisell concluded in her message, striking a chord with many users who share similar stories.
