I never allowed the dehydration, hunger, and fatigue that stockpiled through ten hours of stress to affect my goal. There I was, being castigated by my family in a foreign country while trying to ignore all the tension in my body. This may sound an experience that a marathon runner might face, but rather, this is my family’s trek to Vietnam.

In spite of my family’s negative responses, I had safely led my family to our destination. My father is my role model. He models the way I should conduct myself. He always does what's in his power to provide for us even though we might not show the gratitude for it. I learned a lot through this journey to Vietnam and feel that my maturity will guide me through

I thought it was my homework or that I did not feed my pet fish Arnold, but whenever I thought of my pet fish I thought of my pet dog Rocky.
