Hello everyone, who is reading what I have written here. My name is Thuc Thao Vy Tran, I know it will be difficult for you to remember, you can call me Aley. I’m from Vietnam, I’ve been in the US for over 4 years and I went to high school here. I graduated from high school at Emma Lazarus High school and I am currently a 2nd year student at BMCC. My major is Sociology, at first when I said I wanted to tell my father that I wanted to study Sociology and become an Advisor. He advised me a lot and I feel like he didn’t like it too much. But I told him I wanted to work with others and listen to what they wanted to say.
And my life changed a lot when I graduated from high school, I felt like I was more independent. And I think as we grow up, we will really need friends to share. I don’t know if anyone is like me, but I have a hard time sharing my feelings with my mom! I feel like I’ve talked about my family enough for you to get to know me, I’ll be back in class. I chose this class because I wanted to better understand what has happened in history in Vietnam. Asia has so many countries that I know that all have different historical information!
I don’t think my life is not very interesting nowadays, because I’ve been at home for so long. Every day, I only use the computer to watch film and watch youtube. And now when I go back to school, I have to check my mail and finish my homework every day. I know there will be people like me and I don’t know what to share next. What I want to say in the end is, I hope I can know more about the history of the different Asian countries and especially Vietnam.
Thank you!!
hi Aley, Thank you for sharing! My parents also were unhappy with my choice of major (Women’s and Gender Studies) 🙂 We will be discussing different Asian American histories, including Southeast Asian community experience (e.g. Vietnam, Cambodia) and I look forward to our discussions.
Thank you for your sharing <3.
