I like your post because you explain your cultures traditional method of raising children. I understand why a Vietnamese family would want to bring up their children in a certain manner. Like you mentioned above, it is probably due to the fact they want success and praise for their children but what they don't understand is it might be harmful to their child's youth.

Machismo has long been a component of Hispanic culture and as a kid my household was definitely a patriarchy. Being a boy I definitely enjoyed some benefits growing up that my sister did not get.

    Growing up in a Vietnamese family in America, the value of life is highlighted by working hard and knowing your roots. Stories about family hardship and history told from the older generation in my family are mostly ones of war. I have heard many different elements of war: war crimes, anticommunist sentiments, and the escape from Vietnam. Hearing these stories has always resonated with me, motivating me to work hard for the sacrifice of those before me. In that sense, I worked rigorously to provide myself an education from the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas and was excited about pursuing a professional health career.…
