My dad's name is Cuong Nguyen. He was born in 08/07/1959, in Quang Nam , Vietnam.. He grew up with his mom, dad, 3 sisters, and 3 brothers. His family was a buddhist family. My grandpa dies when i was 2. He died because of brain-stroke. My dad's biggest brother died when he was 2. He died because he got sick, and there was no medicine back then so he passed away. When my dad was in 10th grade he dropped out of high school because his family was poor and he wanted to help his family. In 1978 when he was 18 or so, he worked in the Quang Nam bridge company and he work as a worker. He worked in a group that builts bridges. Most of his friends are workers ,worked at the company. Beacuse he worked at the bridge company so he travel all over the country. I think it's kinda cool. My dad ia a buddhist. He strongly belives in Budda. When he was 15 or 16 he used to go to the temple alot, and the munks there really like him. He usuallly go there to pray. After he been in the temple for a while some munks asked him to become a munk too. He almost turn to a munk but he decided he didnt want to so he didnt become one. He grew up during the Vietnam war period, but he didnt work in the military because he wasn't old enough. The North win and the war ended when he was 16. Because my grandpa was working for the South so he was in favored of the South,too. Like everyone else my dad have his goals for his life,too. His biggest goal was to teach us to become a reponsible person, a helper to society. He loves us . To him health is the most important thing in his life. Because he thinks you cant do anything without health. When my dad was 17 he had his 1st girlfriend. She was his 1st kiss, too. He think his 1st kiss felt different. And the 1st time he had his heart broken was when he had to break up with his 1st girlfriend. They broke up because his family was poor and he had to work far way from home. He married my mom in december 1984. Back then my grandma-mom side- was selling dumplings. M dad usually buy them so he met my mom. They dated for 2 years then they got married. 1986 was the year my biggest sister was born . My dad was really excited to have his 1st child. He really wanted to have a happy family.
My Dad!!!<3
