Amen xD

I am Tiffany Nguyen from Garden Grove, California.

My life began in a small house crowded with nearly 15 people.

Long ago my grandparents were born.

In the year when poverty was increasing and life was nothing from peaceful.

Far away in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam,

Their child Linh Nguyen is my mom and Chanh Nguyen is my dad.

When I was little, my mother was optimistic and cheerful.

I remember when she worked as a tailor and everyday she took me to work with her.

My parents would fight occasionally but they always made up for it with something nice later in

the day.

I always bothered my parents unnecessarily, being the little clueless child I was.

My favorite thing to do was play with my toys and eat ice cream all day because that was all I

could do.

Life was carefree and I didn’t have the slightest bit of concern as to what was in store for me.

In Junior High School, I felt small and unheard but felt like I was part of a large community.

My friends were unpredictable and I found it hard to trust anyone at all

I loved to be part of large clubs because I could be part of something important and help the

community with what I had.

I began to worry more and more about my future, becoming independent, and having more

responsibilities.

I longed for some assurance that I was in good hands, that what life had in store for me was

magnificent and miraculous.

Now that I am graduating, I wonder if I am capable of succeeding in life, but I have learned not to

worry so much and to live in the moment.

My family is different because we have all matured and have gotten much closer than ever

before.

My friends that I have made over the years always proved themselves to be great people, and I

learned that through trust, they have become my second family.

My future is bright and hopefully great memories to be made.

Life is a blessing and is complex, but that is what makes it so great.
