My Life Story

 I was born very late in the year, on December 28th, 2005. My mom named me Ann since it sounded like end because I was the last child in the family. I grew up needing to catch up a lot. I was always behind on the public norms and I would always get in trouble for saying or doing things I'm not supposed to do in public. English wasn't my first language so I had to take an English summer course in 1st grade. My family members switched to talking from Vietnamese to English. I kept talking in my native language until I sat down to get the talk that I live in America and need to speak its language. I was the last one to switch over to English and I would usually be a slow thinker. Growing up my mom signed me up for dances. In some way, it was a good way of conditioning me to improve my memory and to be more aware of everything surrounding me. Eventually, it made a spark in me to have a deep passion for dancing. I grew up doing a lot of cultural dances that my mom made me do.

 


Although it was quite challenging and tiring sometimes, I didn't complain because it made me feel like I was a part of something and I always love looking forward to the end results of the final dance. All throughout elementary and middle school, I participated in many fan and flower dancing. I did other versions of dancing too like lion dance and hip-hop. I did a variety of dances but I did a fan dance the most. Once I started high school, my passion exponentially grew more and more. I got myself involved in many Multicultural and Ifest shows throughout the district and I performed:

for other shows for my high school years so far. It made a major impact on my life since I've met so many new friends along the way. They all help me thrive in life and it's just an amazing sight to see people gathered through dance.


 I see dance as a language for me to express myself these days and I look forward to continuing dancing after high school. I hope my passion still stays strong so I can do the same with my own children one day. Dancing can only get me so far in life and that's why it's just a side hobby for me. I'm planning to work in the business industry as an accountant or secretary. I would love to settle down one day to have 3 kids just like my mom. I would want all girls and they would be named. Anise, Amy, and Anaheim. Every day is always different for me. I can pass away any day now so I'm living my life to the fullest already.
