Growing up without parents is a rough task, but growing up without parents amongst a raging war is absurd. Having to run and hide in fear as your village is raided by North Vietnam soldiers is something no one should have to experience, but to those such as my dad, who has experienced this, it can be terrorizing. My dad grew up in the little town of Long Cheng, Laos living day to day struggling to survive.

My father and many other Hmongs in Laos were in great danger of the communist armies.

For all seventeen years of my life, I have grown up in a Christian home and attended a Seventh Day Adventist church and school. I believe that growing up in a Christian environment has provided me with the foundation of my spiritual life. I 've been taught fundamental aspects and ideas of Christianity and have studied most of the common stories and messages of the Bible. However, even though I am equipped with these study materials and spiritual strengths, I believe that my relationship with God is shaky and not as strong as it has the potential to be. Even though I can proudly acknowledge that there is a God, I often don 't feel His presence and sometimes doubt His existence. I always find myself questioning my spiritual life and relationship with God. If I 've grown up in a Christian environment all of my life, why do I not have a strong relationship with Him? Why is my faith so weak? I believe that the answers to these questions can be found by acknowledging my spiritual weaknesses and using my spiritual strengths to improve them. I believe that acting on some of my spiritual weaknesses, such as an insufficient amount of time devoted to God, unfocused time with spent with Him, and biblical unintelligence, can help me to improve my spiritual life and walk with God.

The ACT was one of the many steps I have had to take in preparing myself for college. In October I will be taking the test again and I desire to receive a score of 29 or higher. My scores were as follows: English 28, Mathematics 24, Reading 27 and Science 24. I strongly believe my reasoning for receiving such low scores was due to my lack of studying. I did not properly prepare myself for such an important test. There are multiple resources I could have used yet I wasted my time and did not take it seriously. Before retaking the test I aspire to grow in my writing by building up my strengths and knocking down my weaknesses.

Both my father’s and mother’s side of their families were devout Catholics, which also became a reason that pushed them to flee from Vietnam. I interviewed my father, Han Tran, and my mother, Holly Nguyen, about the challenges they faced while immigrating from Vietnam to the United States—and the struggles they faced living in the United States.

Since both of my parents are immigrants, I always enjoyed listening to what their life was like in Vietnam and was always curious because I wanted to learn more about the culture. My dad had a long story. He came to America when he was 20, and he and his family came here by boat. On their way to America, they met many obstacles on the way coming to America. Since there was lack of water and food, the majority of the people who were on the same boat as he fought to survive. They also had to deal with pirates stealing many of the valuable stuff they had. Nevertheless, he came here successfully and started high school. At the end of his high school career, he ranked 6th among all his classmates. This has affected me because since my dad has high expectations of me, I am always striving to do my best. What is inspiring about my dad is that since he is one of the smartest people I know, he is not afraid

I think my strongest personal attribute is that I am hard working. I have always considered myself to be a hard worker. I always do what I am told to do, especially when I am working. Whenever my boss asks me to do something, I make sure to do it right away. I never talk back to my boss or complain about the tasks that are assigned to me.
