Ms. Pan has been practising 8 hours per days before her trip to the US. The only thing she is not used to is the food, but she is bringing a lot of Chinese food and snacks with her this time.
If she wins this event, she will be qualified to play in three of the seven WPBA events this year.
Ms. Pan has travelled half of the world to pursue her dream. She needs to go to North Carolina after she wins this qualifier, and then back to Taiwan for the Amway Women's World 9 Ball Championship right away.
It sort of reminds me of Jennifer Chen. Jennifer was the first Asian girl coming to the US about 10 years ago. She did not have any sponsor nor did she bring any translator when she started.
Their determination is so inspiring.
