When I was young, I dream of going to College to study music. I like music because I enjoy created new song. I also like singing old songs .
I grow up in a large family with 10 siblings. Actually, I did not finish my elementary education. I left school when I was 11 years old to working and earn money to take care of My Parents .
I worked very hard at many jobs, some jobs work 13 hours per day. No vacation. No weekend off. After working 13 hours I helped My Mother sale food in our front yard from 8 p/m to 10 p/m every day. My family lived in the flea market. Because of the difficulty that come after liberation in 1975. Every people wanted to get more income. so I lost my opportunity to complete elementary education. Because I had to work to support my family .
Between 1993 and 1995 I studied english in evening class. However. I only studied 3 hours per week. there was not enough time to learn English well. In addition. there was no opportunity to practise English conversation . I learned english by singing American song as well .
I remember, when I was a little boy I dreamed I could go to the other country in my future life. But My dreamed wasn't come true to me until I grow up. In 1994 My family immigrated to the United States. To tell the truth. I have never dreamed I can live and staying in the US today. Thankyou God !
Although, I worked hard in VN . Finally , I came here and started a new life . but it required that I make adjustment. I went to work at the warehouse in Ontario city and I took ESL classes . I'm working toward accomplishing my defered elementary education .
Congratulations on achieving one of your dreams. What American songs did you sing? Do you play an instrument? There are links on the website below that have many songs in English to practice with.

I clicked on it then I saw your name. To tell the truth, singing is my hobbie. of course, I can sing many old American songs in 1960's or 70's English songs. That was my favorite foreign language. I didn't know why I like it. when I was a teenager.
