Finding My Brothers in Vietnam
am Vietnamese--but I wasn't always proud of it. When I was younger, I used to mock the students who just came from Vietnam and laugh at their elementary grasp of English. The new students would ask me for help and I would systematically ignore them. "Anh! Anh! (Brother! Brother!),"they would shout, relieved to see a familiar face in a foreign land. All they desperately wanted was for someone to point them in the right direction. I, their Vietnamese brother, betrayed their trust.
