My life...........


I was born in a small family in Da Nang City. My grandmother is the one who raised me for the past several years because my mother divorced when I turning 5 year-old and moved to live in a small village in Quang Ngai City. My mother, my sister, my brother went to the biggest city, Saigon, to find a better wage to solve financial for a couple years. I spend most of my time to play with my friend. I did not have a best friend because they played with me because of my grandmother’s side who have an aunt immigrated to America. My grandmother was a farmer, so she did not have a lot of time for me. I always feel jealous of my friend because they live together with dad and mom. I have nothing to compare with my older sister and my brother who lived with my mother since their born. I was not a good perform student in class from the first grade through fifth grade. In 2010, my mother moved back to my grandmother’s house because my grandmother immigrated to America. My mother felt ashamed to go meet with other parents because I was dumb daughter in her eye. My mother began strictly only me. My mother’s point of view by compared with my siblings.

In June, 2011, I went to the alliance celebrated 100 years of great commission ministries in Da Nang, Vietnam. One of my pastor from Da Lat take his hand and put in my head to pray for me to do better at school. After that day, I came home and study a lot to get better grade than a failure. I was put a lot effort to study over and over. Finally, I got an B on the final. My mother was surprised that I have been changed so much over a month. I am Christian but I know that God want to change my shape to be a better student in school. I believed in hard-working to pay you off with a successful. I was compared to my older sister and younger brother that I am not good enough to become her daughter about my grades in school. I convinced myself that I will work hard to proof my mother’s wrong about me.

In 2014, I immigrated to America because my aunt adopt me. Over the past 4 years, I hated my parent. I always argument with my parent because they treat me like adult who can send them money. I just want my parents know that they did not love me as my brother and my sister. They told everyone that they proud of me, but my parent never call me to talk about my situation right now. I just want a happy family like everyone else.
