I Have a Dream

Just a few days ago, it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day which is noted by his famous phrase, "I Have a Dream.

I Have a Dream Too.

I'm just a little college student learning about business and information systems. I'm also studying Vietnamese, trying to be proficient at it. Imagine that, an American trying to learn Vietnamese. Why not learn Spanish? Or Chinese? 

Well as previously mentioned, my girlfriend is Vietnamese and I have been to Vietnam and greatly enjoyed the culture. So it's no surprise that I am trying to teach myself Vietnamese. While my little side dream is that this blog will gain some readers, especially Vietnamese readers, I do have a big dream. And what is that dream?

I would really like to work in Vietnam! Maybe run my own business or use my computer skills. 

But Zacub, you are crazy! Why leave the developed United States and live in a developing country? 

Well, firstly I understand how is may seem crazy. The United States is a luxury country. But recently, the United States has become "disorganized." You got incidents like the Ferguson incident that throws this country into disarray. So while the US looks beautiful, all that glitters is not gold. So why stay in a disorganized country?

Another point is that EVERYONE is coming to the US, legal and illegal. With so many illegal immigrants flowing in, it destroys the economy and takes up many jobs, and with people coming from all over the world legally, it makes things difficult when trying to get a high paying job. COMPETITION. So why stay somewhere where I am not needed when I can go to a country that could use my talent? I could go to Vietnam and maybe help businesses or computers. 

Finally, I like to experience new cultures. Plus, not many people are learning a second language, let alone be wiling to go work and live in a different country so this gives me an edge. Vietnam was an interesting country to me and I would like to experience it for more than three months. 

So I really really REALLY wish that I could work and live in Vietnam. My favorite part would be that I get to experience a new culture. New foods, new sites, just all new. So, first things first, I am learning Vietnamese. If I can do that, I have a better chance to get to go to Vietnam. Hopefully, one day, my dream will become a reality.
