On August 9, 2010 my family made a decision to enroll me into private school. Little did I know how much of an impact it would on my life and also my family? At a young age, I started out going to a public school until the seventh grade and things started to change for the better.

There was lost in the family, a person that was very dear to me , during this devastating time this when I found out that the school had my best interest in the books, on the field and also with my personal life .They were there for me and my family during this tragic time for us. They showed us comfort by praying for us and by coming over to the house with food. During this rough time in my life I felt like my heartbreaking experience was a lot easier to deal with cause of their support. Also, the community was also a part of the support and love that TCA has for their students. Being a Christian school with a phenomenal athletic department, many parents and volunteers help work the game, decorated for homecoming, and invested time, hard work, and money into the department. Most importantly one of the biggest impact that I experience at Trinity Christian Academy was that the students would always support one another whether it was educational or athletics. I remember for this first time we successfully made it through the playoffs and made it to the state championship game for the first time in school history. The students were overwhelmed with joy of what we had accomplished. The faculty never failed us even we fell short; they were always their supporting us with their words of encouragement and motivational speeches to keep thriving for the best and never settle for being defeated or

This was my very first leadership role, and because of this stepping stone, I was able to take on the many other leadership roles I did in the future, such as being drum captain of my high school’s drum line for two years, cheer captain for my senior year, vice president of my high school’s Key Club, currently being on the executive board for Rutgers’ Vietnamese Student Association and my sorority’s dance troupe captain.

    It has been four of the most rough, amazing and successful years in high school, all that because the right people came into my life. Today, those people became the closest friends to me: my best friends. As a matter of fact, they became my second family.
