Post 2 - My Life Story

Hello! I really like to talk about my life story, so this will be really exciting to write!

Starting with the past... I was born on February 6, 2007, at around 2:20AM in Saigon, Vietnam. I don't know about my first words (It might have been something basic like "ma"). I think my first steps were around 10 months old. I don't think I knew how to read texts until I was like 4 or 5 :(. Anyway... here's a photo from when I was 14 months old!

Back then, I didn't participate in any activities like sports or arts, and my main focus was just learning English. My life was really different from other Vietnamese kids my age as I experienced a lot of different stuff like being on a tv show or traveling (I LOVE TRAVELING). I have only been to 3 foreign countries but went to those places a lot - Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong. I'm also traveling back to Vietnam (+ Thailand) this summer because I haven't in almost 4 years... wow. (Here's a link to a place I will visit in Vietnam, Sapa! https://www.pandotrip.com/impressive-terraced-rice-fields-in-sa-pa-vietnam-6810/). 

I was also a very outgoing and loud kid haha... More photos of myself in Thailand 2010 and Hong Kong 2016.

I lived in Vietnam until I was 12, then I moved to America (I changed A LOT from this point, from my personality to interests,...) I went to Dulles Middle School and was placed in ESL (I got out of the program last year after spending almost 6 hours taking TELPAS, and I was the last person in the room... English is still a struggle to me though). 3 years later, I'm in high school and writing this blog!

Next is the future (I don't really like to talk about future plans that much...). I will graduate in May 2025. I hope to go to a good school (I don't know how I feel about UT due to some reasons...) and probably major in biochemistry (maybe computer science too?) and go to medical school afterward... 

As for marriage, I definitely will get married at some point. However, it will happen after I've settled down with my dream job and a house (or a beautiful mansion), so it probably will be in my early 30s. I want to have fun and explore the world before having to take care of my kids, so I might have kids in my mid to late 30s (maximum 4 kids though). My kids will very likely have Vietnamese names.

I will probably retire in my mid or late 50s. For post-retirement plan, something I definitely will do is late night drive (I have been going on late night drives daily with my mom since I was 10, and will always continue to do it :D).  I would also want to travel more around the world and enjoy life. I don't like to think about death, but hopefully, I will live to my fullest and die peacefully around 90-something.

This was fun!
