I came to America in September, 2018. As an international student, I needed to learn to be independent ever since I was only 15 years old. My first language is Vietnamese, and it was not easy for me to communicate when I first got to the U.S. With what I have overcame the past few years, from the language barrier to having to do everything on my own, I believe the skills I have accumulated made me into an accountable person. I have multiple experiences working as a TA and participating in a big group setting, therefore, I will be able to adapt to a new position very well.
