What I've learnt...

About myself: Before I had to present my project, I asked my mom about the cultures and family. When she told me a short story that I've never heard before, I was sort of shocked about it. It was about a sibling. I didn't know if that sibling was a boy or a girl because I've never met the person. It was still in my mother's stomach, but she wasn't ready for having another baby so she didn't want it. At last, I ended up with having only one little brother, but somehow in my entire life, I've always wanted another sibling. I didn't share this story with the class because it was sort of personal but now I feel confident enough to share it on the blog.
About others: I learnt many things about the projects that my classmates had presented. Firstly, I learnt that almost of of the class is half Chinese-Vietnamese and they still follow the Chinese traditions and holidays, even though they're living in another country. At home, they still decorate the house with chinese decorations and speak to each other with their mother language, Chinese. Secondly, I just know that Lucky's hair wasn't that curly when he was young and that how his father was so lucky in the Cambodian War. Thirdly, a classmate of mine was a descendant from a very famous king (I don't know much about him). She had this very ancient book about the past, like about the king and her family tree. She said she ended her family tree because she was a girl. It was sort of sad but her family and herself accepted her anyway, since she's family.
Lastly, I was surprised to hear that many people's parents or grandparents or even great great great grandparents were either in the Cambodian-Vietnamese war, the Civil War, the Chinese-Vietnamese War, the French-Vietnamese War, or even the American-Vietnamese war. It was really fascinating to hear all about those brave people who fought for freedom towards Vietnam because they love this country so much. It was just a really interesting thing to know about some of my classmates.
