Hi my name is Jennie Nguyen, I am attending James Madison University where I currently major in Accounting. I have anxiety about leaving college because I don't know if I can make it in the "real" world. My hobbies include reading, swimming, sky gazing and eating apples.
This past winter I visited Vietnam, although I was born there, I had no prior memory of what it's like. When I first arrived, I was shocked by the amount of poverty and busy lifestyle. Everyone is always working, trying to earn enough money to feed their families. Amidst all the hardships, families still find time at the end of the day to enjoy one another's company over a humble dinner.
