What is your career ambition and what have you done to prepare for
it?
My career ambition is to become a successful business woman, to have my own
business and to be helpful to the community. I'm currently attending college
to obtain a professional degree, meanwhile working as an intern to build up
experiences and knowledge for my career and future goals
What personal accomplishment are you most proud of having achieved?
As a teacher assistant for Fremont High School District last summer.
I had an opportunity to help the ESL program by teaching the students
English and the reality of "gang" and "drug"
What person would you most like to meet? (Describe in detail why)
I would like to meet the First Lady Hillary Clinton, because she's the most
knowledgeable woman politician I know of. I wish I could have a chance
to discuss with her about woman's rights in America
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 the biggest obstacle in my life was choosing a right career for
myself. I used to dream of becoming an optometrist, but after taking
several courses in the major, I realized it was not a good match with my talent
and interest. I also learned that sometimes we have to turn around to see if
what we're doing is worthy of our time and energy
If you were crowned MISS AO DAI, what will you do to help Vietnamese Community or
others?
I would like to help to open a Vietnamese Senior Center. For years,
I've known so many vietnamese american elders that are lonely
in their homes while their family are at work and school. With the Vietnamese
Senior Center, I believe they will be happy to socialize with each others in
their own language
