我是...

我是... 我來自一個幾乎沒有人認識的小鎮 小小的村莊, 鄰居間有著一種難以忘懷的連繫 善良, 愛心和關懷, 他們總是支持着我 尋求幫助亦只需一個簡單的敲門聲 我來自一個親密的亞裔家庭 親戚散佈世界各地, 家譜遍及國際 關愛和支持來自每一個角落 我擁有中國和越南的血統 重視仁愛, 禮貌, 和智慧 自幼被教導要有個人的良好品德 豐富的文化遺產, 欣賞成長中的美麗人群 我來自一個嚴格的天主教學校 校園內有獨特的氛圍 老師們富有同情心, 親切及關懷, 時刻支持著我 穿著校服的紀律 和每日的彌撒的一貫模式, 塑造了我成 為今日的我

我是一個超級完成者 比別人加倍努力 過度的高期望時常都未必能達到 而精神, 健康和快樂就從來都沒有問題 我是一個為成功而奮鬥的人 有比太陽更大的抱負 登月夢想是我可以擁有的最佳心態 相信設定遠大目標會帶來巨大的成就

I Am From: A Tribute to My Culture

I Am... I am from a small town that no one really knows A miniature village, an unforgettable bond formed between neighbors Kind, loving, and caring, they always have your back and asking for help is just a simple knock away

I am from a close Asian family With relatives and family history around the world Where love and support comes from every corner

I am Chinese and Vietnamese Where benevolence, courtesy, and wisdom are valued Taught as a child to have good morals and be an individual Rich heritage and culture flourish, a growing appreciation for the beautiful people

I am from a rigid Catholic school Where the campus has its own unique atmosphere Kind, caring, and compassionate teachers that always support you Uniforms and daily church shaped me as a person, creating who I am today

I am an overachiever Someone who goes the extra mile With excessively high expectations that can’t always be met and sometimes mental health and happiness aren’t ever in question

I am a person who strives for success Having aspirations bigger than the sun Where shooting for the moon is the best mindset to have and setting big goals leads to immense achievements
