Ever since I was a little kid, I clearly remember my dad picking me up, playing with me and calling me “Michael T.!”. I believe I was around 4 at the time. Don’t know why I remember that so much.

Through elementary school, middle school, and high school that name basically stuck with me. Know that I’m in college, I use that name to identify with who I really am. You can run my name through Google, and I’m sure i’ll be the only one to pop up. Sometimes I really don’t consider that guy to be a part of me. Strange. He’s kinda like a “Super Saiyan” mode of me, me at my best.   

It probably wasn’t until 2 years back I really got to thinking who I am and how I got here. I honestly wouldn’t be the person who I am without my family. I know this because they always tell me stories of how we made it to where we are today. My dad came here when he was 18 all by himself, unable to speak any English. My mom side of the family fled a communist take over just in the nick of time to make it to the United States. 

Even today, with no job my family supports a lot of my financial needs. I can’t even begin to explain how much my uncle from Seattle, and my moms sister has helped me out. My grandpa told me his story how he came to America, upon which he had been certified to practice medicine in Laos. He couldn’t continue practicing medicine in the States because they didn’t offer certification in Laotion, but did offer it in Vietnamese here in America. Only if he had a chance. He tells me stories of the zero fun he had and how hard he worked.

Which brings me to my next point. My dad came here with no english background without an opportunity to make a quality living for himself. He always tell me how if he had a chance to use the education system here, everything would be different. Now with my older cousins on the other hand, nearly all of them almost didn’t graduate high school. And none of them are in any type of college or higher education. What kind of example does it set for me when the ones who you grew up with aspire to do little with their lives? I guess if anyone knows me on the personal level, I’m the type of guy who doesn’t let an opportunity pass me. I feel like I have many different aspects of my life tugging me in different directions, but I try to make the most of each and everyone of them. Additionally the most important woman in my life only desire is to have raised a good son. It hurts me to see my mom stress out about the things in her life, but I guess you can say her only desire of me to be happy, has rubbed off and I just want to see her happy. And I guess you can say I have a good amount on my shoulders.

Looking back at my life, everything I have done, and everything I have yet to accomplish, I know for certain I’m not anywhere near where I want to go and what I still need to fullfil. Coming from a family who risked it all in order to start a better life, and coming from a generation who had little desire to take advantage of the opportunity they had in front of them, I will put this name on my back as I rise to the “Top” (literally). I have an ambition with no ends, and with desires leading me in the right direction. I know for a fact what sets me apart from other people is that I’m not that good at anything, I just know what I want from this life I live. Come on, I’m a guy who doesn’t believe in luck,.. but I believe in my skill. 

-Michael.
