Thuy Pham Vietnam California State University Fullerton Class of 2013 MBA, International Business I have never been to US and what I perceived of the freedom of an American multinational culture (lifestyle, education, entertainments?) made me curious and challenged to explore it and integrate into it. Business is my academic major for undergraduate and postgraduate (at this moment). I have worked in business for few years, but others find me non-business style when they get to know me more. Perhaps, I have another world - my feelings for the beauty. It is just speechless moment if I see an inspiring artwork, hear a beautiful melody or read a meaningful quote. I can?t tell how I understand about art because I believe that everyone of us has it in our blood, so I have my own art view: I am doing business. Business is an art. Thus, I am doing art. I did a quick survey in my Facebook to ask friends how they describe me in 3 words after VOA Student Union asked me this question. I really love one comment from my old professor in my university back in Vietnam: ?the Forrest Gump feather.? Besides that, the major judgment from the rest is ?weird.? I watched the movie long time ago, but I didn?t notice the ?feather? symbol in the movie. I think the point is that the feather represents fate - Sally Field says: "It blows in the wind and just touches down here or there. Was it planned or was it just perchance?" which is somewhat true for me. Like I usually describe myself: beautism, sensitivity, and difference. You can have everything just by one-click. I am looking forward to a road trip to travel every single state of America. Is it an impossible dream? ?We are communist!? Only one word: missing.
