Right now, I still don’t have too much life experience, but I have a few stories that I also want to tell everyone about my life.
When I’m still in Viet Nam, I used to be a boy who was always self-conscious about his appearance, and because of that, I have very few friends. I always like to wear oversized clothes even when I wear a school uniform, I didn’t stand out at all, but until I went to college that things gradually changed. At that time, I tried to make friends with the people in my class, for a shy person like me this was really difficult. I’m lucky to have made a group of friends, but one thing I didn’t know from them is that my friends are underground rappers. When I found out, I was surprised, because someone like me can make friends with such people and I am very happy about it. They taught me a lot from changing myself, after only one year I changed completely and even participated in composing music with my friends, at that time my other classmates and my high school friends started contacting me more and my making friends also became a lot easier. I find that only good and talented people attract each other and easily make friends with anyone on them level. At that time, I tried to study and improve myself more, I learned some more musical instruments and gradually started to like graphic design, but my friends and I were pursuing management at a university in Vietnam, not design.
About half a year later, my family told me that we were going to the US to live with my grandparents, I was very sad, I had to leave my friends, give up what I had, what I did, to come to America and start over. By 2019, the covid pandemic started, also the time when I fell into a severe depression, I received my psychology degree while in Vietnam, so I know my current situation well. Until I called a friend of mine to tell her about my current situation, she gave me advice and motivation that “try to overcome it by setting future goals for yourself like what I used to do before, then I will find new friends, things that would be very good and very cool”. Since then, I decided to pursue design, and i know my English is still not good, my pronunciation is not standard I’m also quite self-conscious about it. But it’s okay, I’ll get through these things too, it’s important not to give up.
