2nd Post!

for some context before you start reading: 

 I was born in Houston, Texas on July 11, 2006. My first words were "baba" and from then on I literally wouldn't stop talking (even till now). I was really talkative as a kid, I liked socializing and getting to know people, probably because I grew up around my really loud cousins. They're probably the prime reason why I'm like this. And now my younger cousins are lowkey turning into me. I would say I was a pretty bright, social, and creative kid growing up. My childhood consists of me and my sister pretending to be princess or evil witches and we would use boxes, chairs blankets to create our imaginations. I was more about the ideas and my sister was the one who executed it. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork 

(yes that is me in the back with an umbrella).

  Growing up my mom put me in a lot of extra curriculars such as piano/violin, church choir/dance, swim, and tutoring programs etc. These extracurriculars really shaped me into who I am today. At the time I hated it, but as of now I'm very grateful for it, as I was able to really experience the rigor, deal with stress, competitiveness in a way. This also shaped me into really trying new things even if I'm not good at it. I've moved a couple times and with schools that were very diverse. I'm very grateful I grew up in an area with a lot of culture and from a young age I was able to have experiences with many different and unique cultures. Speaking of cultures, I am Vietnamese and I guess I could say one of my mile stones is being able to write and speak fluently in Vietnamese. From a young age my parents had put me in Vietnamese classes when I was in 3rd grade and I returned this January so I'm hoping to finally end this chapter and learn more advanced Vietnamese even through out college!

I'm going to be graduating next year, and I'm really sad about leaving everyone and the comfortability of my life right now (i do not want to start adulting). I'm hoping I could go out of state and go to UW but realistically speaking I might stay in Texas. My plan is to major in psychology or speech therapy and then go on to get my masters for the one I'm planning to pursue. I'm hoping to minor in photography or film production. My goal is to become a speech therapist or some career relating to the medical field and hopefully be able to work with children! And hopefully do something relating to film or photography on the side.

Marriage. 32, 35, 39? I don't really care if I get married late I guess if it's whenever I'm ready. I'm more focused on being able to experience everything in life before settling down. Depending if I can have kids if I marry late I'm really open to adoption and I don't really care if I can't have kids or not. Preferably 2 or 3. If I have twins I'd probably name them after the greek gods, atermis and apollo. As a kid I really liked their names and I find their names to be really pretty :') I would for sure want to own a cat. I used to own a cat named Oreo, and it was really special to me. (to this day idk if it was a girl or boy). Anyways Oreo would literally wait for me at the crossing at my elementary and walk me home almost every day. So yes cats over dogs sorry Coco.

Right: My current rat dog, Coco (she was mad at us this day because we brought her to the vet, so sassy🙄)

I'll probably retire somewhere around 70? Hopefully when I'm older I'd like to continue working and helping people till I die tbh. But if I do plan on retiring I'm not sure where I would want to retire but for sure where family is and where I can still be active in helping my community. Maybe I'll be that grandma that won't stop talking about her life LOL.
