AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Everybody has unforgettable and interesting memories and so do I. My name is Ha and I come from Vietnam where such a beautiful peaceful typical country is. I am familiar with my hometown during seventeen years and just same as others, I got a lot of wonderful memories with it. My parents, my younger sister and I are all the members in my sweetie family. They always take care of me and share with me all the things happen in my life: listen and give me useful advices when I have sadness and happiness. I used to be always a little boy and was protected by them with the warmest love when they stayed by my side. However, after seventeen years in Vietnam, I decided to become more mature by coming to Canada and having a new life - a new life without my family. That's a reason why I am here.

The first day when I was here which makes me so surprise. Do you know why? Because I lived in homestay and my host family is Filipino Canadian but they have an excellent English accent they used to help me a lot in improving English. Firstly, I was so shy when I was speaking English and afraid of my pronunciation. However, they tried to keep company with me and look after me by so many ways. I appreciate them so much and even though I don't live with them anymore but I still keep contacting with them every day.

I have studied in VanTech high school for around five months and still keeping learning so many awesome in both academic education and Canadian's lifestyle. I have lots of international friends from all of the parts of the world and we share our traditional objects from our own country to each other. I found that when I have international friends, I can not only improve my English skills but also learn more about others country's culture. Furthermore, I also feel so great because Canada is a multicultural country and that gives me a chance to have a motivation for studying.

One of my unforgettable memories after I came to Canada which still makes me happy whenever I memorize about it. It happens when I came to school at the first day. I was so shy and felt so lonely among people and I didn't know anyone. However, surprisingly, after the first lesson, some friends came to me and talked to me with an excited eyes and friendly feeling. I felt so cool and lucky.

Life in Canada is so great.

Otherwise, I still have a sad memory when I'm being here. That must be the feeling when one of my best friends had just left Canada and came back to her country. She is a Japanese cute girl and is the one who always kept company with me during the time I was here. All of the traditional
