Vietnamese American

This week is Asian Pacific Culture Week! I will be going to the Culture Night after this blog. There are week long workshops and events that bring all students of color together. I love how there are a wide range of Asians, or as many say, it's an umbrella term that encompasses many different types of Asian. I think it's wonderful that the Davis institution recognizes and embraces this.

I am a first generation Vietnamese born in San Jose. My parents are refugees of the war. Growing up, I never realized how much this would come to define me. My parents' struggles soon became my struggles, which inspired many of my dreams and goals today. I am proud of myself, my parents and my people.
