I am…
a granddaughter of two amazing grandparents, missing afternoon walks around the park, morning coffee, story-times, playing hide-n-go-seek in the supermarket while Papa and Nana grocery shop.
A daughter, born and raised in California, move to a small town called Springfield, and trying to make it through high school.
A sister, the guinea pig, oldest of six, and have high expectation of becoming a good role model for my siblings.
I am…
Ice green tea, Dr. Pepper, chocolate, and seafood.
Hot sunny days, with the a/c on, in the backseat, listening to music, looking outside from the car window, staring at the spontaneous adventures that awaits me.
Old stuffed teddy bears, teared up baby blankets, Barney on repeat, animal crackers with milk.
Church school on Saturdays, dressed in a uniform, waiting in line to go to class, talking to friends while the teacher is talking, and secret admirer notes being passed around the room.
Sunday mass at 10 a.m. , dressed to impress, arriving late, learning and understanding more about God, family lunch at a buffet and afternoon prayers.
Staying up late on weekdays, projects to finish, tests to study for, and essays to revise.
I am…
17 turning 18, a senior still trying to discover herself, still speaking Vietnamese at home and English at school. blue jeans, simple t-shirts, hoodies, and converse. Almost at the end of a chapter in my life, I hope I will grow wiser, happier, and healthier.
This is lovely, Cindy. Thanks for sharing some of who you are. I can totally relate to missing your grandparents and all the little everyday activities and rituals you shared with them. I find it very impressive that you speak two languages, and I, too, hope you find wisdom, happiness, and health in your future. I'm glad you're back in my class! If you get a chance to turn in your Letter of Introduction you missed on the first day I'd like to update your points.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Cindy. That's cool how you can speak Vietnamese. I used to have a neighbor who spoke Vietnamese. Keep it up because that's a cool language to listen to, at least that's what I think.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the foreign language too! My great-grandpa would speak German in the house all the time. I'm not fluent but, i'm pretty good at it.
