Family Tree Presentations - What I've Learned (:

What I've learned through all my classmates' presentations was that most of our grandparents or grandparents' parents tend to give birth a lot. Before, knowing the fact that my grandma had 10 children was amazing. I mean, I don't know if amazing is the right word to describe it. But then listening to other people's family tree presentations, I figured it's so normal to the people in the olden days. I don't think people will have big families in the future because they are too into they're work and modern business stuff that they don't really care as much as the people before did about extending the generations. I've also learned that mostly everyone in the class who's Vietnamese celebrate the same holidays. I mean they do the same thing. And so do I. Because I'm half Vietnamese. And I celebrate the way they do as well.

I've noticed that the people in my class aren't what they seem. Sure, they go to the same school as I do. And yes, they're studying in Vietnam. But beneath what they wear and how they look, there are stories that are so unpredictable to the naked eye. People like me, and Darlene. If other people around us didn't hear our accents, probably they consider us fully Vietnamese because of the hint of Asian in our faces and the fact that we're brunettes. Jennifer Fuhr is another example, who would've known she was from Norway. She looks Vietnamese! As do all the students in the whole school, except for the ones who are blond and actually look Foreign. We're all people, living in the same country; but our backgrounds describes who we really are (:
