INTRODUCTION

Introduction

My name is Thuy Nguyen and I am a transfer student from Chabot College. This is my third quarter here at CSU East Bay and my very first time taking an online class, hence I’m still unfamiliar with how the online classes go, and hopefully I will receive the help and support from you, my fellow classmates and professor.  Currently I work at Isis as supervisor and Staff Mark as mail encoder. I enjoy watching Asian movies and dramas, as well as my love for Asian cuisines, particularly Vietnamese cuisine and Korean cuisine. I was once in swimming team during my elementary and middle school years, however I broke my leg and had to retire from it; I still enjoy swimming from time to time.

Honestly, I enroll in this class because of class requirements, however the reason I chose this class out of other options because I find women’s history is fascinating. I am a woman myself and I want to know and learn about the hardship of women in the past and how they overcame those hardships in order for me and other women to be freed as today. Besides, I think from what women experienced in the past, those lessons could be applied to solve the current issues, even could prevent and predict about the future. I don’t have much knowledge about Women in America history since I spent more than half of my ages in Vietnam, however if you want to know about Asian women’s history, specifically Vietnam’s and China’s history, with my little knowledge about them, I would love to share them with you all.

Thank you
