She said:

"My Dad came to the United States as an immigrant with dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon. He worked incredibly hard, earning his bachelor’s degree and attended medical school. Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, he couldn’t complete his lifelong dream. When I began my career, I faced similar financial challenges. No loan provider would accept me, and I started to lose hope of becoming a pilot. This broke my dad’s heart, seeing me struggle just as he did.
"Despite not being able to pay my way through school, my dad went to great lengths to find a solution. I thought he was crazy, but he was really just crazy for me, willing to do whatever it took to help me achieve my dreams. Then, a miracle happened. After endlessly trying, my dad was finally approved to be my co-signer. I want to introduce you all to my reason. I love you, Dad."
