Reflection

It’s been some time. So I figured I’d put pen to pad again. I’ve had time to think and reflect about everything that has happened on this trip. Needless to say it’s been eye opening for myself. I’ve learned so much about my history I don’t even know where to start.

The love story that played out in my head turned out differently than hoped. Which sucked I won’t say that it didn’t. But even when you put your best foot forward, there is always the potential to fail. Failure is a part of the human experience. There are sayings like “A master has failed more times than a novice has even attempted “ or something like that. I am reminded that there’s a lesson to be learned in everything. Even failure. It was not so much about an epic love story with all the elements of a summer blockbuster.

With that being said, this trip has provided much needed information about me, the things I want out of life, etc. It has been exciting traveling all over Southern Vietnam, learning about my family’s history, my father’s old stomping grounds. Showing me the work ethic and dedication it took to get to where we are today. My impression of things over here have left me with a new sense of respect and humility.

Family remains at the forefront of all thought. Without family, you can’t survive much on your own
