Flores, Dora <br />From:shelly hsueh <shellyhsueh@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Friday, November <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Reference Conditional Use Permit No. 2023-18, Appeal Application No. 2023-07 <br />To whom maybe concern <br />My name is Shelly Hsueh and I want to share a little about my journey with you. <br />I arrived in the United States at the age of 19 to pursue my college degree. After completing my <br />master's degree in statistics, I made the decision to stay in this beautiful country. Currently, I work as a <br />market research analyst at AAA. <br />I originally come from Taiwan, and I am incredibly proud to call myself an American. However, I also <br />cherish my diverse cultural background. One thing that is very important to me is the ability to <br />worship God in our own language. It connects us to our heritage and brings a sense of comfort and <br />belonging. <br />I am also a mother. Our church plays a vital role in helping our children understand their parents' <br />roots. After attending Chinese school programs on Sundays, my daughter receives support in learning <br />the language and gaining insights into our culture. It's a valuable experience that bridges generational <br />and cultural gaps. <br />Furthermore, our church extends a warm welcome to new immigrants. It provides a sense of home <br />and support, making the transition to a new country smoother and less daunting. <br />In conclusion, our church serves not only as a place of worship but also as a hub for cultural <br />preservation, education, and community support. Thank you for your time, and I appreciate your <br />consideration of our church's request. <br /> <br />Thank you <br />Shelly Hsueh <br />2 <br /> <br />
