“Mom, I think I can never find a word that can describe myself accurately”

There used to be countless times I whispered to my mother in disappointment as I simply did not know how to define myself. As a child, I honestly wanted to pile every glorious adjective upon my shoulders, encompass it all and become the role model frequently appearing on my Facebook feed. Yet, I have finally found my own Tram Anh as I am gradually approaching the final stretch of my twelve years of formal education. Starting out as a tiny fish swimming around in a vast ocean, searching for a warm flow of water, I am now proudly growing into a brave shark that still embraces the genuine colour of myself and what I desire to become - a person who can balance between empathy and courage.
