I came here to the United States to further my educational goals. I had always dreamed about becoming a helpful person not only for my family but also for my community since I was a little kid. I have always thought that I am extremely lucky to be given the opportunity to study abroad; hence, I try to make the most of my time here which is spent doing volunteer work. A program in which I spend most of my time volunteering is called Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) that supports those who are not fortunate enough to go to school, or have a place to live. CEAP does not only give me valuable pieces of knowledge and experiences but also helps me understand that there are many people who are still suffering greatly and are desperately in need of our help.
Besides that, I've also gain the chance to join a group called "Angel Group." By doing that I was able to meet some people and join some activities with those people, some of whom have metal and developmental disabilities. I learned how to knit wool hat and played with them. They made a lot of different sizes of hats. All of the things they make are then donated to hospitals for newborn babies. Additionally, I was also a member in Cecilia choir at the St Anne- St Joseph Hien church. I participated in the choir and all other events in the church for approximately 3 years. I am also a member in phi theta kappa at North Hennepin Community College (NHCC).
Furthermore, I used to take part in many activities in the Vietnamese community such as fashion shows in some festival and New Year fairs. During the year 2011, I was awarded the first runner up and miss friendliness help. This was one of the many social activities I participated in that help me improve myself and gave me the chance to meet and established relationships with people.
