My Inspiration
My grandmother was definitely born before her time. When she was growing up in Vietnam, she was not allowed to attend school because she was a girl. Her brothers attended elementary school and went on to finish college. She entered the labor force at a young age and, eventually, got married off. To this day, she hates her father for not putting her in school.
I’m inspired by her desire to learn and to live. She’s outlived all her brothers. She has traveled to more places and seen more of the world than they did. She’s never turned down an invitation to get out of the house. She prefers hamburger, French fries, and pasta over Asian food.
I am lucky to have that passion – her passion for travel, for learning and for living.
