It's Vietnamese teacher's day I sat down and thought about people who made me who I am today. I dedicate this note to them, in addition to the mails that I have just sent, hoping to show my appreciation for what they have done to me.
- Thank you, grandpa. You taught me how to read and write since I was 4. It not only helped me so much in my later school day, but more importantly, helped me to create a reading habit, which is the most critical way to improve myself now.
- Thank you, Mr. Trinh The Vinh, my late math teacher. You taught me a happy life was more than fame, career, but also patience and love.
- Thank you, Dr. Son Nguyen, who opened the world for me. You showed me that we can give and don't have to care about take. You taught me with your example one can change the world around him with what he does, today.
- Thank you, Dr. Viet Nguyen. You gave me the confidence to be myself, and the passion to help people to become who they can be.
- Thank you, Monica Worline. Though I was only a TA in your classes, I learned so much from your guidance and our conversations. You helped me see a new dimension in me and the world around.
- Thank you, Kembrel, the dean of my GBS program. You gave me the inspiration and passion. You showed if I believe that I can do the extraordinary, I can; and that if I live and act like a leader, I am.
- Thank you, Thuy Duong, Tuan Linh, Tuong and others of the Vong Tay Be Ban. You helped me to realize that the best way to fight the bad is to plant and nurture the seed of the good.
- Thank you my friend, Vu Thanh Tu Anh. You have said what I came to know that it's the mission of mine as well, or maybe it's the mission of our generation. We'll be the bridge stones, laying ourselves down as the foundation for the next generation. I will.
