Chapter 2

Dear Diary:Hi, my name is Tina Kathleen Nguyen. I am 12 years old and turning 13 years old this year in April. I am full Vietnamese-American, because my parents are from Vietnam. I have an older brother who I usually call Anh hai is Tuan. He was born in Vietnam, just like my parents. He likes to play his electric guitar, and he is in a band called the Leaping Dogs. Anh hai sometimes is good brother, but sometimes he can bossy and he likes to order me and Linda around. Though, Anh hai is not a very good brother, he can be a good friend that I can trust with my secrets.

Next, there is my little sister, Linda. She is the baby in the family and the youngest out of three kids. Linda loves to do ballet; she is really good at it. She can do any tricks while performing on stage. Even though she is only 8 years old, she can be bossy, just like her older brother, and she can be a trickster. Linda and I have a lot of things in common. Linda and I love to torture older brother by playing a few harmless pranks on him. Okay, maybe I was exaggerating on that, what I meant by harmless, it was crucial. You should see his face, when we played a trick on him, it was so funny, and he would try to find who did it. Linda and I nearly fell from laughing so hard, that we would try to hide our laughter from him. Anyways, Linda is the youngest child, Tuan and I have to very good examples for her to learn from her childhood.

That is part of my family tree; I could talk about more of my relatives, but I can wait until I am ready. My favorite hobbies is reading, studying, working on my video camera, taking pictures, and editing movies. I like to make movies, because they can create new stories on life and what is happening around the world. My dream is to become a world famous movie director, because I love to watch movies a lot and I can learn from them. I worked on the school's newspaper since the sixth grade and have my own T.V. news broadcast at Hurston Middle School. I worked as editor in chief and camera person for the news broadcast and helped a lot of to produce the show.

I also worked with my favorite movie actress, Lana Barnes. She is my favorite actress and a close friend of mine. What I like to do in my spare time is playing pranks on my brother, watch a lot of movies, working in the tailor shop, hanging out with my friends and boyfriend, and making a lot of movies. What are my favorite foods, well I like to eat pho, egg rolls, noodles, bun Bo hue, and a lot of different kinds of Vietnamese foods. I love to cook a lot of different foods, and serve them to my family.

My favorite sports are basketball and soccer. I could play basketball fairly, but I am sometimes a rival to my boyfriend. I could be beat him in basketball, just as he doesn't goes easy on me. I could literally beat him up if he did that. I am very good at soccer, because I could focus on it more and reach towards the goal by kicking the ball. I love to run after the ball, and kick across the net and win the games. I was made team captain for my coed's soccer team, and won three leagues in a row.

My fears are losing someone very important to me, and going near a cemetery, because they creep me out. What people don't know about me is that I was a very good singer. I used to sing when I was little, and always perform for my family. Now that I have grown older, I stopped singing, because I was bored of it and started to film other people. Occasionally, I still like to sing when nobody notices me.

I want to you about my friends, but it is time to go to bed. I had fun talking to you for a while and hope you learned something about me. Sincerely, Tina Kathleen Nguyen
