In the early hours of the morning, downtown Miami is illuminated by the soft, golden light of dawn. As the city gradually awakens, a lone figure walks purposefully to work. The unusually empty streets mirror the dedication of those who rise early to seize the day. This moment captures not only a sense of quiet determination but also embodies what America means to me: a land where early risers pursue their dreams, meritocracy flourishes, and hard work is cherished and rewarded.
