5 hours ago - I lived in Vietnam until seventh grade, then studied in Thailand until tenth grade. From there I went to New York, and now I’m here at Michigan Tech. I’m pretty independent, but have a lot of friends from around the world. I’ve found you have to get to know their culture and how they work and react to things. In Thailand, most of my friends knew English well, so they helped me with my accent. I watched a lot of American movies before coming here—that helped make it easier for me. Living with an American family took a lot of getting used to. I recently visited a local school here to share my culture. I told the students about my travels. I told them about street food and clothing. They asked what my favorite American food is, and I didn’t know what to say. There are so many foods to choose. I said steak. I really like it here so far. #mtuhumans
