Hello everyone! My real name is Thanh-Ha, but my American name is Julianne.
I am predominantly Vietnamese but I am also a little bit French and Chinese.
I can only speak English and Vietnamese though. I was born in Riverside, California,
but I now live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I moved to Las Vegas 12 years ago. Sometimes
I wish I lived in California still, but I love Las Vegas. If I could leave Las
Vegas, I wouldn’t want to. I often visit California. I am an 18 year old high
school senior. I just turned 18 this year on January 18. When I turned 18, I
was very excited.
Art, music, and fashion are my loves. I love to sing also. When
I was little, I wanted to become a famous singer. Now I am in my church choir.
I sing solos for my choir sometimes. Whenever I sing, I become nervous, but it’s
very fun. I wish I was good at playing an instrument. Right now, I am learning
how to play the piano. I love the sound of the piano! I wish I can become a good
piano player. But above all, dancing is my number one passion. I started dancing
7 years ago. I dance jazz, hip hop, etc.
I also do a little bit of break dancing. Right now, I am learning how to break
dance. It’s hard, but it’s really fun. I wanted to learn to break dance because
girls don't usually do it. Sometimes I want to quit, but I am determined to become
good at break dancing. I used to be to three dance teams, but now I belong to
one. We danced at competitions and shows. Last year, my name hosted a big show.
The show was very popular! We raised $2500. The money was donated to charity.
The show was hard, but it was fun.
I am a Christian. I converted from Buddhist to Christianity. Christianity
is not my religion, but my lifestyle. I live to praise God because He saved me.
My life has changed for the better. Everyday, I pray to God. My family and friends
often criticize me, but I don’t care. Because my family is Buddhist, it is hard.
I still pray for them. I pray for the world as well. I want everyone to feel
God’s love because it is so amazing. God always blesses me. My dad just recently
left my family. It’s just my mom and I that are living together. It is hard,
but everyday God helps me out. I study my bible a lot. Many people don’t like
reading the bible, but it is very helpful and interesting. Whenever I am hopeless,
I read my bible. The bible is a powerful book. The bible is God’s promises for
everyone. I go to church about three times a week. I always go on the weekends.
My friends are usually at parties on the weekends, but I don’t like going to
parties. I don’t like going to parties because my friends usually drink alcohol.
Drinking is not fun. It can be dangerous. There are many other ways to have fun.
My church is so fun. We sing, dance, and act at my church. We have a hip hop
team, a breaking team, a band, and a drama team. I am the leader of the hip hop
team. My dance team is truly a blessing from God. Because my dance team has experienced
many hardships, we became unified. We perform at our church. We will be traveling
around the world soon. We want to affect people through our dancing. I am so
excited for that. Because we are blessed from God, we dance for Him. By dance,
we glorify God. We glorify God with everything we do. We have a variety of people
at my church. I love my church group very much. Whenever I am discouraged, they
encourage me. They always help me whenever I need it. Living for God is interesting
and wonderful. I’ve experienced a lot of hardships, but God has restored me from
all of it. God loves everyone so much and He wants everyone to experience His
love.
