On October 17th. 1995 an amazing child was brought to life..... yeah, me, Phu Le. I was born in Saigon, Vietnam although I quite frankly don't remember any of this being born in another country thing my parents surely love to remind me of the harsh times they had to go through as I was born and the reason why it was harsh was because of the money issues, I guess money has been an issue ever since I was born which was 18 years ago! Anyways, in 1997 around September or October as my parents can't recall the exact time but we (dad, mom, sister, I) moved to the great United States of America. I can't recall me even being on the plane but apparently I slept like a little baby the whole ride over. The first few years of my childhood my family shared a home with my loving and caring uncle that took us in for the first 3 years, after that my dad managed to save up enough money to bless us with a home of our own and ever since then we've been living here since. Growing up was what my parents would call lavish compared to their lives in the communistic lands of Vietnam.
Being able to attend school as a child was probably one of my first memories that I can recall pretty well compared to others, I still remember the very first day of school, I wore a white polo along with navy shorts with my blue and yellow backpack and I remember walking into Stafford Primary School along with my dad to my assigned very first teacher as a Pre-K student. I do also however remember crying because my dad was nowhere to be found but in place of him was a lady named Mrs.Stoffal. I loved my primary years, I was so eager to go to school and now that I compare it to now... wow was I the total opposite?! Primary years seemed to be a quick breeze and after that was elementary school which I also went to Stafford at and boy oh boy do I get made fun of by how fat I used to be! I still get made fun of by how fat I was haha maybe that's why I briefly remember my younger years as only being fat
here's a picture of me in the 2nd grade, I guess the fat hasn't gone to my face just yet but slowly as the years go by did I just keep going into my face!
Surely after elementary school I made my way into being what I thought was a cool junior high kid LOL "what was I thinking back then?!" is what usually goes through my head as I go through my old pictures and old memories. 7th grade year I remember I took all honors classes and those were a breeze to pass and to make an A in.
and here's what I mean when I say "what was I thinking?!"
In 2010 I started what many would say my "golden years" I was a freshman at Stafford High School starting to what I know as a core in my future, I took all honors classes and I guess I did fairly well in school, I was in the top 10% ending my freshman year but a whole lot changed for me that following summer going into my 10th grade year, I was proposed the opportunity to move schools and I debated for several days and in the end I chose to move to the school I am currently at right now, Dulles High School. Dulles was an extreme change up from what I was used to all my life I've been at Stafford from Pre-K to 9th grade with all the same people in such a small tight group of friends to knowing absolutely no one as I start my first day as a Sophomore. Changing schools had a bigger impact on my life than I expected it to be especially with my grades, I quickly plummeted to C's rather than my usual A's and sometimes B's. It was saddening seeing that my grades were slowly dropping and I felt hopeless but I slowly got a hang of the new transition as I started to make new friends and they helped me overcome the "new kid" jitters. So far in my high school career I would have to say my sophomore year was the hardest and junior year was surprisingly easy compared to many other students.
In the end of my freshman I began what many call "First Love" her name was Evalyn Nguyen and although I don't like talking about my past relationship because it didn't really quite end well as many would say. But I guess since I've already told you guys a lot about my life, eh why not? Tbh I believe the relationship started on 8/20 maybe lol I'm not quite sure if it was the 20th or the 23rd it was sometime in the 20's. We stayed together for a year and a couple of months and after that we were still on and off. In the beginning I was pretty set on us staying together forever but that quickly shattered by the constant arguing and fighting. I was young, careless, and stupid at the time not knowing better staying by her side no matter what but as time flew by I started to understand why couples break up. I was the one who broke things up and as many would be after a break up, I was miserable and sad and the only way of happiness was to talk to her which brings up how we were on and off for months. We were together but we weren't together if that even makes sense... If I could turn back the hands of time trust me, I would've most definitely not have gone back to her. This time around was when I was hurt the most and also learned the most, never trust anyone who is not committed to trust themselves, lets just say I was hurt as if I was cheated on and for those who know how it feels to be cheated on, it sucks major butt. This relationship was long, exhausting, bad, there's not many good times that I can talk about but as in every relationship there were those heartwarming times
such as this one when she was my first homecoming date, I guess you could say I had a good night. I went through most of my Junior year without a girlfriend and near the end of probably my greatest years as a highschooler I met my current girlfriend, Victoria Tran, I like to call her a rock since she was probably the hardest thing to get through to! I had to go to great lengths to get a date with her and even until this day as we're nearing our monthversary shes still hard to get a date with since she's a college freshman and I'm a highschool senior and the fact that she goes to University of Texas at Austin makes it harder for us to see eachother but we make it work and I can't begin to start how much I am thankful for her. As much as I want to say that she makes my life harder its actually the total opposite as she makes everything easier to get through, she brings me up when I'm at my lowest points and she helps me get through every rough patch that I may encounter. She's the apple to my pie, the straw to my berry, the one I want to marry. Although I don't like to talk about my future that far ahead I do see myself marrying her and starting a family with. She wants a big family and she is my princess so what she wants is what she shall get haha I guess you can say I am in love with her and everyday my love grows more and more for her.
on 8/17/13 is when I asked this amazing girl to be mine and if I could, I wouldve asked her out earlier, shes the best!
I do find it funny how I have both girlfriends on the same page because I'm sure they both don't really like eachother hahah but whatever!
Along in my future with hopefully Victoria, I would like to attend the University of Houston in pursuit of a career in the medical field to become a nurse of some sort and that has been my mindset for quite some time, I hope to live a wealthy and prosperous life but who doesn't want to live that life? I guess its just a dream for now until I achieve it myself but for as far as retirement plans, my kids better take care of me in the best possible way they can! I surely do not want them to throw me in a retirement home, my motto is that if I take care of you then you better take care of me in return! I hope that by the time I grow old and start to near my death time somewhere in the world someone will come up with a solution to have people not die because I want to live forever and ever to have say that I have done everything this world has to offer.
just take this picture for example, doesn't that just warms your heart? <3
I surely haven't and if you have, its probably still not as cute haha dogs>cats IMO
