Is the folk song that predicts the future “THE KING’S CHILD IS A KING AGAIN, THE Pagoda’s RANGER THERE Sweeps Banyan Leaves” Is it true for all cases?
And how can “monks” like me overcome their fate?
1. MY PREVIOUS 'STREET' LIFE
I still remember when I first came to America, every morning my sister and I would walk to the bus stop to go to school, whether it was sunny or rainy or snowstormed.
Sitting on the bus and looking through the window, I saw my friends being picked up by their parents. Sometimes I felt a little sad, but thinking about it, my mother already had to go to work early, so she couldn’t pick me up.
Time passed, and one day I broke up. shared with a teacher that I wanted to enroll in college. The teacher asked me a few questions and then said,
“You’re already late. You should have done this by now.”
At that time I was dumbfounded, why had no one told me anything before?
I felt so stupid and self-pitying.
While my American friends, their parents had prepared everything for them since they first entered high school. 3. What are the records of extracurricular activities, specialized departments, selected classes, research…
And I’m still as ignorant as a cow wearing a hat.
But it’s over.
And then the more I study, the more my family and relatives can hardly guide me anymore.
I myself continue to search for myself. understand.
Nothing comes easy.
At first you fail, then you try again.
It’s been like that until now.
There is a saying that makes me think a lot. That is “The son of a king becomes a king, the son of a monk sweeps banyan leaves at the temple.”
The son of a monk is truly at a loss in hundreds of ways. No relationships, no money. Going to America to start over from scratch is truly a mistake.
But is that why I have to settle for “sweeping banyan leaves” for the rest of my life?
For me, the answer is definitely NO.
However, having gone through difficulties, I understand the disadvantage of having to grope in the dark, with just one wrong step. also leads to unfortunate consequences. Sometimes it’s as simple as feeling stupid, but other times it’s a waste of money and time.
2. MY LIFE AND CONCERNS AT THE PRESENT
Even though I have now become a family doctor for a leading medical organization in the United States, and have an income and a life that I never dared to dream of before, I still look back to my hometown, and worry about the same fate as mine before. Because I’ve been through it all, I want to share what I know with you as a guide, helping you go in the right direction, go faster, and not have to work as hard as I did. And that is also the reason why I founded The Phoenix Medical Academy, with the mission of giving wings to Vietnamese students and doctors on the journey to realize their dream of becoming a doctor in America, and at the same time have the income and life that you DESERVE to have. You may wonder why you chose Phuong Hoang? Phoenix symbolizes Resurrection, overcoming fate. The Phoenix Medical Academy’s symbol of the fiery phoenix spreading its wings is also the 5 most noble values of the medical profession that Phoenix and young doctors will conquer: Compassion, Resilience, Integrity, Passion for Learning, and Leadership. No matter who you are or what situation you are in, I hope you can awaken your Phoenix instinct to fly to conquer your dreams. Please comment “yes” and share the article if it is useful to you.
