Challenges That I Faced in Life
When I lived in Vietnam, I never worry about money. For me, Life is so simple, and money is not really important. My parents took care of fees from my college and life. I also worked but I don’t need to earn a lot of money for my family; I can use my money for some personal stuffs that I want to buy for myself. But my life changed when I go to college in America. I have to worry many things. I always felt stressed out. I got two jobs to work although I still lived with my family. My parents couldn’t pay for my tuition anymore. My father was unemployed; only my mother and I could get jobs. Therefore, I have to take care of my sister’s tuition and myself. I need to save money for my study in future because my major is pharmacy that needs much money. I also give for my family $400 every month for our rental and foods. Besides, I prepared meals for my family that I never did before because my mother was so busy. And now, life is complicated and money is so important for me.I cried a lot at the first time, I truly hated America and I wanted to come back Vietnam. One day, after I got out of my work, I walked with my co-worker to go home. We talked a lot life in America. She lived small apartment and she have to take care her daughter who has cancer. She must spend a lot of money for her daughter’s disease and she has a very difficult life every day. But she said she never cried after her husband died. She has to work hard every day so she doesn’t have time to cry. She said life is always difficult; If we think we can overcome everything, we will .Day after day, I struggled in my life daily difficultly. I worked hard to get a lot of money for my study. Sometimes, I can save some money to send to my grandmother in Vietnam. Everything became easier for me. After 2 years, I still live in America and I didn’t hate America anymore. I even like life in America. When I have a problem in my life, I always think that a head of me is sky.

My Worst Job Ever
My first job in America is the worst job. At that time, I applied to work in Panda Express that sells the Chinese foods. It was the first time I worked in fast-food store so I didn’t have any experiences with this job. My manager is a Chinese woman. I even didn’t know that Chinese manager is so strict and she required everything perfectly. When I worked with her, I was so stress out, every day she always yelled at me. She sometimes didn’t know how to control her emotion. If I did something wrong in my work and I said sorry to her, she will say that “I don’t want to hear sorry. I just want you don’t make mistake.” It make me feel so bad. I tried hard every day because I really need money for my study. I know that this job wasn’t fit to me because I wasn’t really like to work in fast-food restaurant. Day after day, I even was scared to work in Panda Express. One day, I worked with my manager and the customers were so crowded. We were so busy on that day. When one customer asked me about sweet-sauce for orange chicken, I couldn’t understand so I asked my manager. She looked at me and yelled at me in front of customers. She said that why I tried to work here if I couldn’t understand English and she showed how bad my English was. I was extremely embarrassed when everybody looked curious at me. After that, she asked me stop my work and come to talk to her. I was so mad at her and I said I wanted quit my job. Not why! Just stopping the terrible time in this job. Six month later, I found a new job. It was difficult to find new job but I always feel relax and free every day.

I'm sorry my parents! I'm sorry my father!
From birth to now , I always loved living in the care of parents. My parents took me to eat, study, teach me to be a good person. But I made my parents cry a lots about my faults.Since my childhood, I lived in unhappy family. My father is very easy to get angry with everything, so my family almost was broken because of his tempers. Fortunately, by the love and sacrifice of my mother that kept to heal a rift in my family. I was really hated my father, did not even to talk and care him, and i sometimes think that my father didn't truly love my sister and me.
But in my seventh grade, my family had a big problem, so my parents had no money for my tuition.Therefore, I decided to leave school, at home, and help chores in my family's store.I didn't know that the person had the most painful when this thing happen to me is my father. Actually, my father loved me the most in siblings. My father always hoped us like our peers who enjoy life in school. Just because my family is too difficult.....it is the first time in my life saw my father cry in front of my realities, and I also cried a lot. I was a spoiled child, I grieved my father.But then I heard my parent discuss about me; they wanted me go back to
school. My parent didn't want neighbors think their daughter was illiterate. Besides, I am very a weak girl on that day, so my parents wanted me to go to school for my future. The condition for me to go to school is my father must work overtime every night with the job that my father never wanted to work before. Sometimes, when it rained, my father rode me on the old bicycle ; looking at the hard back of my father, I was crying and silently sorry to my father. " Dad,I'm so sorry that I hated you so much and never cared you.". I made a promise that I would earn a lot of money to make my parents' life become better in future.
After few year, I was a student in University, so I moved to the dormitory in University. I got part-time job, but it was not enough money for my study. My father worried for me; he borrowed my uncle some money for me that he never did before, and my uncle said something bad to him. Then my father got sick.I never knew about that until I went back to visit my home. I was so busy for everything, and I didn't spend any time for my parents. When I had problems, my parents always were beside me; when my parents need me, I couldn't do anything. I was a very bad child.
My parents is the best parent in the world, and I felt thankful and sorry to my father so much.From that day, all my thought about my family became different. I truly love my family, and I was happy to be born in this family.

The Truth is....
Love has never left me.
It's just I still remember, but he forgot about it.
I'm so sorry that I can't forget about the way I felt when he was beside me....
How should I love someone new then?
What if I still have regrets?
I really don't know...
Even if I was hurt and I knew it all, would things change for the better?
We used to overcome troubles in our love.
But now we re just wandering alone in the crowds.
I used to love him madly like there will not be tomorrow.
My dreams have been shattered, but I'll never forget them.
I couldn't escape, my deeper love is the more pain we experienced.
I relied on him, the more emptiness I felt in me.
I used to think that I can live without him,
Because of him I've ever thought that tomorrow would be the future.
I have never thought of waking up in my pain.
When I loved him, I feel again and again still I've lost all hope.
My heart was hurt deeply but I'll never forget.
We didn't belong together longer in the past.
The paradise in the beginning, turned out to be the most ridiculous thing in the end.
The only thing I might still regret is that one day we broke up,
My tears couldn't flow to keep him stay with me.
If that moment could happen again,
Maybe I'll still not cry.
Because I'll let him know that
I can be very well without him.
But he'll be in the bottom of my heart forever.

The first day in English class...
It's the unforgettable day. I was so surprised at all. I didn't think that my classmates spoke English perfect so I had to study hard with many pressures.
One thing that I still remember that is my teacher, Nancy, she was so impressed with the way she taught. She spoke so fast so that I didn't understand all of things what she talked about in first day.
Another thing is the journal. It was so difficult to write something in 10 minutes. I did't have any ideas when my teacher gave us about the topic. I don't like writing, so it was really hard to write. The important thing is my English is not good to write something in the short time.
I was so scared. I thought i can pass this class, and I want to drop this class.But facing to the problem is the best way to overcome it.
Day after day, everything became better.I truly like the way that my teacher taught me. She explain issues of lesson clearly, and I was easy to follow her. It helped me improve my writing skills. I could write my first essay well although it had some grammar mistakes. When i wrote my journal, I also could think something to write.
I don't know yet how my study will be. But i think that if I study hard and do my best, It will not be so difficult to pass this class.
