This is my autobiographical memoirs: Born in China, I grew up in the Chinese ghetto of Saigon, a back water community of the world.  This is the story of how I was educated and gradually grew to realize that there was a wide world outside, learned to love writing, found a chance to go to college in Taiwan, discovered a way to come to America, got a graduate education in journalism here, built a career, grew a family and finally enjoying my retirement while continued to learn now things .  I like to share my life's story with others, especially today's young people, as a cautionary tale if not a case study on how to look at and plan their future life.

{Completed} When work time ends and I board the bus, I scramble for a seat by the window to watch strangers pass by, every person with a struggle, a story to tell. One that the entire world will shake upon hearing yet not change. Problems came in different forms for every individuals. Some people worry about their broken cars on the way to work, a broken limb maybe from sport, a broken heart from a shitty partner, a broken spirit from grief. For me, I've only ever struggled with superficial problems. I've had days where my concerns were my cold mocha, my grades, the broken printer, and the video message that wouldn't load. On certain days, I worried about boys, and whatnot. Last year, bigger problems came in the form of my father's addiction to gambling. We all thought he had complete discretion over what he did with his money, so we let him face his consequences alone. But soon like a vine, it spread to the rest of the family and broke us from inside, out. -------------------------- #1 in adaptive #9 in dyslexia Word count: 30000+ Cover credits to me🤍 Started: August 29th, 23 Published: October 10th, 23 xx
