Weak Dream: A view into yourself

 When I heard the announcement, "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Taipei. We've just landed at Taoyuan International Airport, where the local time is fifteen twenty-five in the afternoon.", I realized it would be a long time before I could see my family again.  I've been to Taiwan for a month. I stay in Hsinchu. I'm a student abroad studying computer science at National Yang-Ming Chiao Tung University on a scholarship. I have achieved my dream.  My journey to apply for study abroad was urgent and arduous because I initially had no intention of studying in Taiwan. The first day I arrived in Taiwan was September 6th, late for a week. I missed orientation day and the first class.  I got sick in the first week due to the weather change. I realized no one cared about me. I have to google for my medicine. I miss my mom. I didn't know how much my mother cared for me until I was away from home. I am also not familiar with Taiwanese food. It took me

 I got my first job: Teaching at Mihu Art. I got my salary too. I'm going to intern in FPT Software.  I will take a gap year cause I want to study abroad. Maybe next year?? I have one year left to graduate the Classical Piano major at Hanoi College of Art. I will research and work this year. Prepare for the language test again for my next application to the university. Nah, maybe this year will be worth it. I think so?? Maybe I won't waste my time. Who knows what the future holds??  I used to think I have to study at the Hanoi College of Art this year. However, I was just informed by NYCU that the Taiwan Ministry of Education changed its policy for international students in Vietnam now, and I was accepted. What could be luckier than being so close? I almost registered to study at Hanoi College of Art and my intern job. Because I thought I wouldn't be accepted into the university, I went to work. Now I have a new skill: teaching. It may help me in the future when I hungry. I

 I am depressed. All my dreams put it NYCU. I placed only one wish on a school in Taiwan, and now I have suffered the consequences of being unable to study abroad.  NYCU didn't reject me. They gave me a scholarship to go. But they asked me to send my official graduation diploma, which is impossible in Vietnam after a student graduates. For those who don't know, Vietnamese law says that after students get their graduate results, they can only get a temporary certificate. This certificate is similar to the diploma. But NYCU didn't understand, or they did, but they pretended to don't know.  I'm ready to study in Taiwan. But life didn't let me go this Fall semester. I have to study at FPT University in Vietnam this semester. I'm disappointed because all my effort put into my study plan and CV went with my laptop. My laptop broke. I asked the shop to fix it for me, and they erased all my data. If next year, I do my progress to study in Taiwan again, I will have t

 Hello, I have only 13 days left until the high school graduation test. Sometimes, I feel nervous about my mark and my future. I know I can not get high score. But it isn't the main reason why I feel nervous. The main reason make me feel nervous is how can I get into the university I want.  I want to study aboard. I use all my time to make my profile beautiful, and I received the passing results after all. But with only the passing results, I couldn't enter that university. The OIA of that university want me to send my official graduation diploma to them in July, but I couldn't because according to the requirements, I need to provide my graduation certificate by July 25th to receive the official admission letter. However, according to Vietnamese regulations, students only receive a temporary graduation certificate after July 17th, with the official diploma being issued three months later, at the earliest by the end of September. When I explained to the International Admissi

 I'm tired. Near the graduation date, I'm so worried about my future. My school posted an article on their Facebook fan page about my success in enrolling the Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. Everyone knew about it, but they didn't know if I couldn't get the official high school diploma in July, I couldn't study at that university. The university doesn't understand about Vietnam rule, Vietnam only provide temporary certificate to student, and the official certificate only provide to student in September. This put me on fire. I even asked the Teco this afternoon to contact the MOE of Taiwan, but they didn't help me.  My plan was to study all afternoon today, but I couldn't follow it. I'm tired— not physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion. This afternoon, my dog bit Ms. Nguyet, a woman who lives next to my house. She yelled, and I think all my neighbors knew about it. Maybe my parents have to apologize to her and compensate her with a large amount o

 My friend K told me about a web name chotot, which sell a lot of cheap old machines. I want a new phone, so I found a cheap old iPhone on that website. I spent 3 days only to find the best iPhone and best price, and I decided to buy iPhone by a person. He said his mom used it, so he sold only 11 millions dong. I never buy an iPhone before, so I didn't know how to check if it legit. And guess what, he said the iPhone had the original screen came from Apple. I still don't know why I believe him. The iPhone didn't have the True Tone, and the screen burn in. That make it less than 11 millions dong. So I bought an expensive iPhone.  When I came home, I couldn't use the haptic touch. I didn't know if the function of the iPhone not working right or all of the iPhone like that. Guess what, when I came to the shop, they said my iPhone is fall down so the speaker is dented, the vibrate is broken. That's why the old user replaced the screen.  I regret about how my money s
