Lady Shares Throwback Photo Of When She Showed Her Parents Around Microsoft Office After She Was Hired

A young lady named Akosua Boadi-Agyemang has shared a throwback photo of her parents while showing them around Microsoft in year 2019, when she just got the job. She also thanked them for their sacrifices.

Read the lengthy post as shared on LinkedIn:

The pride my parents had as I showed them around what would be my new workplace in Microsoft in 2019… They went on to say “Nana (nickname), we are proud of you.” As first-gen’ to reside in North America, watching my parents provide and even sacrifice for me to be in a place they’re not — those words brought me to tears.

💭I’m currently reflecting on these memories this week as I’m about to transition in my journey — this one is a reminder of my why…

Legacy. My legacy will include “being BOLD”. That no matter how much the odds have been stacked against me, I have overcome.

💡See, none of this is about the companies themselves — it’s about the marker they have. They represent pinnacle moments in my life where I was able to materialize grit, strength, sacrifice, ambition, boldness, hope and so much more, I thank God. Proud to look back on these memories & be overcome with the same depth of emotion as I had 3 years ago.

If you had told me in 2015, when I left home, with a one way ticket & two suitcases in hand that I’d be taking my parents on tour at the headquarters of the world’s top
tech companies 4 years later after graduating – I probably would have laughed & said something like “Oh, please… I’m not even going to study technology”. To be honest, working at a tech company, was not on a vision board as “dream x”.

Sometimes, we limit ourselves to our “dreams” that we don’t realize what we are capable of may surpass our imagination.

My parents never thought when they were providing to ensure my siblings & I had access to #Windows95 that one day they’d be in the hub of its creation.

Your dreams, no matter how uncorrelated they are, are valid.

💡To you, the person reading this, you can and will achieve greatness beyond your imagination. I hope the power you discover within you leaves you at a loss for words today and beyond!

Cheers to August and a new chapter.
