Changes:

Sometimes when I come across the name "Vietnam" in books, I wonder how people are looking at me, a Vietnamese person nowadays. What have I done for the country? The country's triumphs in the past seem more like old, rusted trophies that remind me more of the long gone triumphs in the past.

Some friends call me lucky for all the unexpected events that have happened to my life: early achievements, a scholarship to the best school in Singapore. Sometimes I think they say that because they never know what I have gone through. But slowly, I do realize how lucky I am for all the unexpected turns I accidentally walk into, people that I have met and get acquainted with, and possibly the random events that somehow, somewhere shape my life the way it has been. But above all, I feel lucky because I have always been able to think that I'm lucky. And probably that the things that matters the most. I have fumbled times and again. I have let great opportunities slip through my hands. I have hesitated and doubted. I have given up many things that might have important to me. But I have also, fortunately, realized that many failures are not as important as what I have had. I have turned my head away from things that I deemed important, and sometimes, I find a new way. I'm fortunate because my life has been made by such moments when I randomly take a step into a different path, when I fumble and decide to change my way, when I fumble and decide to push ahead. I'm fortunate because of the homes that I have, the friends that I make. I'm fortunate because no matter what I do, I have a dream at the horizon.

A lot of people call me lucky for all the unexpected events that have happened to my life: early achievements, a scholarship to the best school in Singapore. I used to think that they never know what I have gone through. But now I do realize how lucky I am. I'm fortunate because my life has been made by such moments when I randomly take a step into a different path, when I fumble and decide to change my way, when I fumble and decide to push ahead. I'm fortunate because I have learnt to love my homes. Because that loves give me a reason, a dream to keep going.
