Eventually, after all those years passed a church rented out the building and…

Until one day I was eating lunch at recess when the desk partner beside me was claiming at how good his sandwich was, even though I had a chocolate granola Chewy bar.

I actually visited two temples, one called “Chua Dieu Phap" (located in San Gabriel, California) and one called “Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Meditation” (located in Renton, Washington). I first attended “Chua Dieu Phap”, it’s strictly a Vietnamese temple so everything was in Vietnamese (obviously). Everyone at the temple…

Lynna Hong Amy Dickinson English 99 13 September 2016 Go Get It. Period. “[They say] if you want something go get it. Period.” Growing up I was quite the introvert. I was a shy girl who didn’t have many friends and I didn’t go out of my way to make any either. In fact, I actually found myself to be really sad and lonely.
