Our Vo family reunion, 1990
Comments: This picture is important to my family because that was the day [my mother's family] landed in America (Boston, MA) directly from VietNam. My [grandfather] was a refugee in 1980. It took him 10 years to bring his family of 9 kids and my [grandmother] to America on August 16, 1990. I like this photo because the girls wore the Vietnamese traditional dress.

First Communion
Comments: I was seven years old. Jesus was part of the painting--I have not met Jesus yet! My veil had to be re-done because the candle held by one of the other children caught my hair and veil on fire. So my grandmother had to fix it. Later, I also spilled hot chocolate on my dress. But you cannot see it in this photo. I lived in Guatemala until I was 14 years old.
