University problem My friends and I are in a difficult time choosing our Faculty in University. As Vietnamese educational system does not provide enough information for students to choose what to learn and what to become in the future, many students still don't know what university to apply to. A month ago, I asked one of my friend: "What university are you going to choose?" and she said: "I still don't know yet". And now, that girl has to change her decision in the last minute. She wants to study in the Faculty of Chinese Literature and Linguistics, but her parents want her to be an Economics girl. The main point here is, the old generation of Vietnamese people still keep in their mind that being a doctor, businessman or an engineer is everything without considering about their childen's passion. I have a cousin, he is living for his passion, becoming a Graphic Designer, and like I just have said, some members of my family still look down on him because they think that he isn't good enough to study in some Science Studies and he can't earn money with that job. What an ancient thought! I must say that I am luckier than most of my friend. Although my parents didn't have a chance to study as much as I do now, they still support me and give me advice to pursue my dream. I have learnt an English speaking lesson lately about work and career, and I find out one thing happening to most of Vietnamese students: they all have passion and dreams but their family and this developing society partly prevent them from being what they want. I hope this will change soon someday.

I'm Newbie here I join Italki for learning languages, cultures as well as making friends. Let me introduce a little bit about myself. My name is Tram, I haven't been a University student yet because I'm still waiting for permission to university. Anyway, I have applied to one of the best universities in my city and I hope I will be accepted. I'm a kind of introverted person. I usually don't talk much in front of strangers, but if you know me well, I'm really insane. I love learning new languages, and experiencing new cultures. I want to travel to many countries after Graduating from university and before marrying, or after marrying but my husband has to share that passion with me and travel with me before we have a baby. That's a far future, huh? :) I love watching movie, listening to music. I can play the piano and I'm learning to play the guitar. My favorite kinds of music are pop, indie and r&b. If we are friends,please let me know your favorite songs, maybe I'll love it. Anyway, If you want to learn Vietnamese, maybe I'll show you, I'm not a good teacher but I will help you with all my pleasure :)
