Khoa Trinh: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• The result of a loving and courageous immigrant mother
• A proud father of 46 plants and an unpleasant turtle named Squirt
• An immersive traveler and seeker of new experiences
• Eternally either tired, or hungry, or both
• Still figuring out how to be an adult
• Curious and optimistic by nature
• Not fond of coffee, bread, pasta, cheese, alcohol, and sweets. There, I said it!
• A Vietnamese-American who juggles dual identities and expectations
• A grateful alumni scholar of the Horatio Alger Association, which changed my life
• Người may mắn nhất trên thế giới (the luckiest person in the world)
