What is your career ambition and what have
you done to prepare for it?
My career ambition is to be a child care specialist. I have been going
to Merritt College in the last two years to prepare for it. Also, in my
spare time, I have been volunteering at child care center and at
school laboratory to gain knowledge and skill relating to my
field
What personal accomplishment are you most proud of having
achieved?
The personal accomplishment I am most proud of having achieved is
that I am officially a contestant of Miss Vietnam TET Pageant of Northern
California of 1997.
What person would you most like to meet? (Describe in detail
why)
The person I would like to meet is Ms. Kieu Chinh. She
is a renowned movie star internationally. I have heard of her talent in acting when I was
just a kid. I admire her work as a person. She has shown and proved to
the world that Vietnamese women are capable of doing what other nation's women can do. To me she is truly a remarkable person to meet.
What do you believe is the biggest obstacle you have been faced
with in your life and how did it affect or change you?
I
believe that the
biggest obstacle I have faced with in my life is English. I started to
learn English as a second language five years ago. Although my English is
improving, I cannot speak as well as a native speaker. However, I truly
believe that if I set my mind to surpass this obstacle I will succeed.
If you were crowned MISS AO DAI, what will you do to help
Vietnamese Community or others?
If I were crowned MISS AO
DAI, here are the following "do's" that I wish to accomplish to help Vietnamese community and others. With Pageant Committee's approval, I will be honored
to represent Vietnamese community to participate in all social events such
as fighting for the human rights, especially in Vietnam.
I will also symbolize the beauty and talent of Miss Vietnam in all of
the local and city parades, and to compete with other nations' beauty
pageant to voice our existence. For other communities, I will
try my best to find solutions to help under-represented communities
by communicating with their local leaders, representatives, and
spokespersons. In addition, I will share Vietnamese people's
accomplishments and successes to other communities to acknowledge them
that we can make a difference within the community as a whole.
