My Vietnamese-Australian Journey: Culture, Beliefs, and Identity
My story begins in the lush landscapes of Kien Giang, Viet Nam, where I was born in 1993. My roots are deeply intertwined with the Vietnamese Kinh ancestry, and my cultural identity is a vibrant blend of Vietnamese and Australian influences. I speak both English and Vietnamese fluently, with a basic grasp of Mandarin Chinese. My worldview is shaped by Buddhism, specifically Mahayanism, which plays a significant role in my life. Among the aspects that define me, my age, spiritual beliefs, and hobbies stand out. Interestingly, I share my birth year with Son Tung M-TP, a notable Vietnamese singer who has made waves in the music industry.
In Viet Nam, Buddhism is a major religion, with approximately 12.2% of the population identifying as Buddhists, according to the Pew Research Center. My experience with neurodivergence adds a unique layer to my identity, as it is estimated that around 15-20% of the global population is neurodivergent, according to the National Institute of Health. As a permanent staff member with a master’s degree, I am part of a growing number of educated professionals contributing to the workforce in Viet Nam, where the literacy rate is impressively high at over 94%, as reported by UNESCO.
What sets me apart is the fusion of my Vietnamese heritage with Australian cultural influences, creating a unique tapestry of experiences. My journey through life is marked by a blend of languages, beliefs, and interests that reflect a rich and diverse background. This combination of elements shapes my perspective and adds depth to my story, making it uniquely mine.
