My Effort and Involvement in ENG-114

My first thought when I attended this class was I was going to suffer. The reason why? English is not really my best subject and I struggled a lot in some of my English classes in high school. I lacked in creating a strong thesis, run-on sentences, embedding quotes, and sometimes having trouble expressing my thoughts through words. I had a lack of confidence because I thought my writing was terrible. Surprisingly, when I worked on the assignments in this class, I saw my potential and strength in my writing. Every time I submitted an assignment, I would always be cautious and scared of what my peers or instructor would say about my work. But, they left positive comments about my writing and how powerful or good it was. To me, I was shocked because I didn’t believe how impactful my writing could be. Honestly, the comments made me more motivated and lifted my confidence in my level of writing. In Norton’s assignments, it helped me realize my strength, potential, and my skills.  doub

Review of "The Hmong and the Secret War"

Map of Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia Vang Pao, the general of the Lao Army In this review of “The Hmong and the Secret War” published by PBS (Public Broadcasting Service). There are a few things I want to inform the audience beforehand.

My Culture's Trauma Hidden from History

Thanksgiving 2015 The artifact I will be introducing is my paternal grandmother. My grandmother was one of the strongest woman ever in my whole entire life. She came to the United States to escape from the Vietnam and Secret War with her children and grand children as a widow. She built a foundation with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren here in the Bay Area. I have always wondered what would happen if my grandmother and everybody didn’t come to the US if the Vietnam War and the Secret War didn’t occur. I will be focusing on the history of the Vietnam War and the Secret War. Including to know more about the refugee camps my grandmother and our family members used to be in. And know more about what people have faced in this historical disaster.  The keywords I will be using are #VietnamWar, #VietnamWarDates, #RefugeeCamps, #Immigration, #Laos, #Thailand, #Cambodia, #Vietnam, #Refugees, #IndoChina, #BoatPeople, #Immigrants, #SecretArmy, #SecretWar #Insurgen
