[E]xperience

I became a Christian through wrestling with God at a very young age around 7-8 years old on the scripture of “Ask and it will be given, seek and you should find, knock and the door will open.” It was a very difficult and hurtful time of my life when I was separated from my family and living with a foster family in America.

co-lead a small group.

My 7th-grade social studies teacher Mr. Jones who took time out to know me and advise me on relationship and life.

Sonny Vu who give me an opportunity to come back and learn and work in Viet Nam.

The unconditional love, encouragement, and support from my family, especially my mother, brother Thien and my adopted mom Ma Chin.

My immigration to the U.S. from Viet Nam how this separated me from my family. I don’t want any children to go through the things that I have to go through being separated from my family.

My first separation break-up with my first girlfriend of 7 years. It was heartbroken but it taught me about grace and forgiveness. How I need to give grace and forgiveness to Kelly just like how God love and gave me love and grace.

The third is my break-up and separation from my former fiance Thien. This taught me how I need to love others. It also taught me about forgiveness and how I need to love others.
