Journal # 14

Dear my loved parents:
It's a long time no see you, and I really miss you a lot. I'm still good; everything is ok. I want to let you know that I intend to get a job in America. I know you are so worried about I will live alone in America if I get a job here, but as you see, now I live alone very well, as well as I become more independent when I live here. So, you don't have to worry about it. Maybe I have to face cultural differences; however, I will try to keep our own culture. In California, there are a lot of Vietnamese people, and Vietnamese areas. They usually celebrate Vietnamese traditional holidays. Therefore, you can believe that I will keep our own culture. I know you will miss me so much if I work here, but I promise I will try to work hard, earn a lot of money and come to visit you on vacations every year.

I love you, mom, dad and sisters.
