How many times have i blogged about her? A lot huh. well, this one is a whole different kind of vent. I feel guilt in myself that I don’t usually give her enough credit for what she does for me us, how much she’s sacrificed, and how hard it must have been for her to start a brand new life in a totally different cultured society. From now on, I promise to think about this before I rage on her on something that not even worth throwing a tantrum about. 

Late last night, I was online researching about my major for college. I already had an idea of what I wanted to do, but reading more about it just fascinated me even more. With satisfactory, I decided to email my parents about that major, linking them to the website. It was just a small gesture from me to inform them about what I wanted to do/be in the future. Little did I know that my mom would reply back with such a heartfelt and touching letter. Although it was all in Vietnamese and took me a little while to figure out what it said, I was bought to tears. She was basically telling me that she was extremely happy that I found a major and how she and my dad will ALWAYS be by my side to support me no matter what I chose to do. It was extremely comforting to hear this and I was super happy to know this as well. She also mentioned something that made me think about what I’ve done in the past. In her reply, she compared me to the head of a train. With me being the oldest out of all the kids in the family, she said that I was like a train, leading the way for everyone. If I took the wrong way, everyone else would follow and the same if I chose the correct path. This was true. I see the examples I make in front of my brothers. They do follow my footsteps. So this was a huge wake-up call. I HAVE to change my ways. No more slacking off. I have to make my parents proud. Anyway, my mom ended her email with “I love you very much, you know that?” And with that said, I love you very much too, mommy. I really do. <3
