My heroes

When people ask my who are my heroes, I immediately say that my heroes are my parents. My parents have been through so much for the life of my siblings and I. Back in Vietnam, my father was a P.O.W of the vietnam war. It was the captain of the navy and was captured while on mission. As a prisoner for 6 years, he has suffered through numerous of pains and obstacles. Being away from his family, starvation, hard labor, and torture beatings from soldiers. Still today, my father is haunted by the past and lives to tell his stories. One of the stories I specifically could remember is when he was he was in the concentration camps, he received 100 whips from the soldiers, only because he stood up for his friend. My father's courage and strong heart has helped him overcame the pain. While he was in prison, my mother was at home raising their 6 children alone. Without any money, food, nor help from any family member, my mother managed to survive, and better yet, raised my siblings and I to become wonderful children. It is because of my parent's strenght that got me and my family to America today, and being successful in everything that we do. Therefore, my parents are my heros ;)
