I am from my big bed
From bookshelves and toothbrushes
I am from an old podcast
Chilling in the rushing world.

I am from the couch to the sofa
From the feeling of happiness
To the sound of laughing.

I am from sunflower
And the weeping willow
In the hot summer days
Whose long gone limbs I remember as if they were my own.

I am from the house of four
From my mother’s sewing machine
Who made most of my clothes
From my dad’s wine collection
To my brother’s Xbox.

I am from the “you were born in my navel”
And “you became big and tall
By eating dinosaur’s egg
Instead of drinking my milk.”

I am from pretending to be a Santa
Giving presents to each others
Under “wishing pillow”
Before Christmas’s night
I am from Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh- Sai Gon
Bun Bo, Pho, Hu Tieu
From the North to the South
Now move to the US
Reunite with my grandparent.

From staying all night long
Horror movies, video games
With my silly brother
From burning fishes and eggs
In my mother’s kitchen
From taking my dad’s shoes
Not let him go to work
To stay home and play with me.

“You are amazing, you are important, you are special, you are unique, you are precious, you are loved.”

Just because I’m an introvert
Doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk
Or hang out with people
It means I only want to spend my time
With those who important to me
Instead of wasting my money
Cafe, boba, milktea
Every single day.

Just because I’m Asian
Doesn’t mean I’m Chinese
I am from Vietnam
Small but beautiful
And I’m proud for that.

Just because I’m left-handed
Doesn’t mean my right hand is useless
I can use my both hands
To do everything.

Just because I’m a younger brother
Doesn’t mean I’m weak
And easy to be bullied
I can do anything
To protect my family.

Because I’m Asian
People think that I’m good at Math
But that is not my strength
Calculate numbers.

Because I’m a left-handed
People think that I must be talented
Playing guitar, piano or drawing
But I don’t even know
How to draw a lion.

Because I have a long hair
People think I’m not straight
But I am a real man
Gallant and gentlemanly.

Because I’m skinny
People think that I’m weak
And can’t protect anyone
But even I don’t have muscles
I can knockout you with a punch
If you hurt my family.

Because I believe in Jesus
People think that I’m not realistic
And don’t understand Science
But I have an A
And they have a D.

Because I care about my outfit
Whenever I go outside
People think that I want to show off
"Flexing" in front of their faces
But I'm not wearing for them
I'm wearing for myself
And I don't care what they think
I am who I am
And I dress what I want.

It would have to be clothes. I'm kind of a "fashion person" so I really care about what to buy and what to wear.

Definitely listen to music, I always stick with it whenever I do anything. Especially when I have a bad mood, music helps a lot in comforting and motivating myself. Another thing I really enjoy is soccer.

My favorite foods are Pho, steak, and hot pot. I really hate vegetables by the way.

My name is Manh Nguyen Pham, I'm a senior and I'm turning 18 this year. In my country, my name stands for strength and power, which are totally opposite with me. I was born in Vietnam in a family of 4- my dad, Luan, my mom, Hoa, and my older brother Nhat. We've moved to America for about 14 months, just 2 months before the pandemic came. One interesting fact about is that I'm a left-handed person but I can write with my both 2 hands. A goal of my life is to become a millionaire one day.
