In this Oct. 18, 2018, photo, dentist Kou Vang works on a patient in his St. Paul, Minn. office. Vang, 63, didn't get around to dentistry until he was in his 40s. He was told he was the first Hmong to go into dentistry in Minnesota, and probably the first grandfather to graduate from his program. That's because Vang's life took him the long way, through war, prison camp, destitution, immigration and a lot of hard work. (Scott Takushi/Pioneer Press via AP)
