I had the amazing opportunity to sit down and interview the most important person in my life, my
grandmother, Thuy. She was born in Vietnam and came to the United States or which she referred to as "The Land of the Riches" to seek better opportunities. In this interview she tells us her story of what it was like to come here and how she started a life for herself here in the U.S. To her snarky responses and a few good laughs, we really get to see the wonderful heart this women possesses.
In this first segment, Thuy gives us an introduction on who she is and how she came to the United States from Vietnam and briefly tells us what she was expecting and what were her first impressions once she arrived.
In this second segment, Thuy tells us about her life and the first couple of months of being here in the U.S and what were some of her experiences like.
In the final segment, Thuy shares with us how she handled tough times during her marriage to a Canadian man who betrayed her and explains how her parents raised her to know that she is equal to any man and how you should never let anyone walk all over you. She also tells us how she think her life would have been like if she did stay in Vietnam and shares with us her overall thoughts on living in the states and how she wouldn't trade it for anything and that being a mother and a grandmother is the greatest gift she could ever have. I am extremely thankful for this opportunity to sit down and chat with my amazing grandma.
