After just a week of rest after coming here, I applied to study and continue my favorite marketing career that I pursued when I was still in Vietnam. I draw up a specific plan each day for myself, always starting with waking up early to be at the bus stop at 8am. There are also days, I take advantage of time, walk to school, as an exercise for keeping fit. Thanks to that, I found more ways to get home, closer and less time consuming.

The path home is the same as the path that each individual chooses for himself or herself in life. Any direction will eventually find a destination, but how that goal is achieved is what matters. I am choosing my own path. I can't say if it will bring satisfactory results to my life or not. But I am happy in every step, relaxed in every thought. I am going and determined to follow to the end.
