Immigrant Stories is a research and archiving project run by the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) at the University of Minnesota. Immigrant Stories helps immigrants, refugees, and their family members create digital stories: brief videos with images, text, and audio about a personal experience.
\n\nThis project defines \"immigrant\" broadly. Our collection contains digital stories from people living outside their country of birth as well as stories created by their children and grandchildren. Immigrant Stories also welcomes stories from international students, international adoptees, and people who do not feel that their stories fit a particular, or just one, category. All stories are important, and we invite you to make a video and share yours with us.

Today I am going to tell you a\nstory about a journal of my life. I was born in Ho Chi Minh City in\nVietnam. Ho Chi Minh, one of the biggest city in Vietnam, is a\nbeautiful and bustling city with full of laughter.\nIn my family, there are five people, my mom, my dad, my two\nbrothers Lee, Nghia and me. We lived in Thu Duc district, a peaceful\nplace. My mom and my dad worked on business. They made tofu and soy\nmilk to sell for school or people in the market.\nI was studied in Tam Phu high school when I was there. My\nschool also calls \"Green School\" because my school surrounded by many\ntrees and every student and teacher is have protecting the environment\nawareness.\nWhen I was in Vietnam, I addicted in video games. I usually\nhung out with my friends and went to the internet cafe. I could play\nvideo games for a whole day without doing anything. I even dropped\nschools just for playing video games.\nI left Vietnam after I graduated 9th grade in high school.\nThe reason why I came to the United States because there is a\nopportunity and better education system here. I arrived to Minnesota\nin September, 2016. It changed my whole life. It was like I could\nrestart a new life. I met new people, made new friends, started new\npositive habits.\nI came here with my family. I left behind my bike and\nneighbor, especially my friends. I really miss them and I promise\nwith them that one day I will come back and visit them.\nI brought everything that I can carry because I have no idea\nwhat is the United State looks likes. The most important things that\nI brought is my pictures of my family. They are significant because\nthey remind me the memories when I was in Vietnam.\nI was very lucky to move to the United States. It likes I\nhave a second chance to change my life from the beginning. And I\nguess that's one of the reason why I came to a United States, study\nhard, get a good job someday and be a proud son.", "kaltura_video": "1_djoqqmn1", "page_count": 0, "record_type": "primary", "first_viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "attachment": "118.pdf", "attachment_format": "pdf", "document_type": "item", "featured_collection_order": 999, "date_added": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_added_sort": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_modified": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "_version_": 1710348538327597057, "type": "Moving Image", "collection": "p16022coll554", "is_compound": false, "parent_id": "225", "thumb_url": "https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/1369852/thumbnail/entry_id/1_djoqqmn1", "thumb_cdn_url": "https://dkp5i0hinw9br.cloudfront.net/cab5903c5c823b7baaa412d41b556ec2fcd10932.png", "children": [ ] }
