University of Houston

As someone who is not originally from Texas there were many factors that went into my decision to attend the University of Houston-Downtown. I first heard about UHD from my sister who had nothing but good things to say about the university, then I was reigned in by Dr. Mari Nicholson of the university Honors Program.

“Uncle, why are there so many Chinese and Vietnamese in Houston? Aren’t we in the United States?” I remember asking that question to my uncle when I first came to Houston. Houston is a city bustling with various cultures and ethnics not to mention it is the fourth largest cities in the United States. I was born in Malaysia but Houston is like a second home to me. The main reason is that I have family members residing here. My uncle moved to Houston about 15 years ago after completing his degree…

At the time, I was just eight years old and beginning the fourth grade. Looking back, I had no idea that this storm would be a life changing event. The documentary details the days leading up to the landfall of the hurricane in New Orleans;…
