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.
