Big dreams sometimes come from simple things. If it wasn’t for Iron Man, Pham Hoang Duy (1991) wouldn’t have been graduated from Catholic University but be a fertilizer shop owner instead.

Not until I received my Fair degree that I believed that all that was real

After graduation, I and my classmates had a party, joked we didn’t have to go to school anymore.

In fact, until year 11, I have yet to define the upcoming direction myself, just for the day, not a plan, dreamed of. Lifetime job at didn’t believe, only after the Iron Man (2008), everything in me has changed an incredible way. I suddenly realized, his future is this: build a house filled with cyber technology serves humans.

Have to say, smart House image in Iron Man and the eccentric, talented engineer Tony Stark (alias Iron Man) in the movie has inspired and motivated me to pursue electrical-electronics, that he must do much better than that. One of the products that I’ve built and expertise is robot climbing wall (in the course Senior Design) from Google Glass. This robot will film, photographing the object, then send the data back to the computer to handle 3D.

Now, I am focusing on learning to master (a year) with the objective to achieve a cumulative grade point average (GPA) is high. In America, you must be a native citizen or possess outstanding academic achievements have had internships at major companies. Next July, I will be on internship in the company of a friend to get the experience.

In the Catholic UNIVERSITY, as early as the third year, students have the opportunity to practice through Career Job Fair, a job fair is held every year. A good intern will have the opportunity to be retained by the company to work after graduation.

It said the U.s. education system, career orientation for students is very thoughtful, and not imposed. Senior was going to visit, to experience at the University before making his decision to any school. Catholic at the time, I saw a lot of high school students to each faculty to ask questions to the lecturer, very interesting!

The space medium sized ancient Catholic UNIVERSITY, romantic, always filled with greenery and shade.

The period of transition confused me somewhat, because here they studied and played together in both years. But re-reading and then melting away rapidly by students here (mostly native Americans) are extremely friendly and sociable, they helped me a lot in getting the forged between skills speaking and writing, just misspelled is getting them to “catch the rolls”, thus my English pretty up everyday

American students (and Americans generally) nice job, learn all the things. They hate the cheating in their studies and examinations, arguing with teachers to the new issues only. Here, the teachers ask the students reading at home, in class they just preach a little profile and let students ask questions and discussion. If you want to see directly to teachers to ask the post office hour hour to students doing it. This form not only helps me autonomy, greater awareness in learning, but also enabling me to learning more from your friends.

Students from Vietnam to America the majority worked in noodle, on average each week to earn 90-100 DOLLARS, enough to cover the monthly meal money. They also prefer homeshare form-groups of friends in the same room/apartment to split the money (on average about 300 dollars per person, not to charge electricity-gas-internet 100/person). Meanwhile, the cost of living in the dormitory is quite expensive, and almost non-existent homestay in DC (where the capital of the Catholic UNIVERSITY).

“The Best part of your uni life is party dude” is the motto of American students. Kind of like you open a party at home and invite you to come, those friends invited to their friend, more and more fun. Partying is completely healthy!From here, we expand the relationship, friendly people, be given the get acquainted with the lovely new girlfriend, he he Evil.

Back to the original emotion upon graduation, I think about the parents and grateful to them. If none of the parents could not have me today. Though each other halfway around the world but the parents still quietly watching and supporting each step ahead of me. “I thank the parents for giving the right to self-determination of their way, to become an electrical engineer-electronics, although inside Centre for inlays, you know parents will peace than if the family business of agricultural business supplies”.

How happy are my mother and my aunt next door, share the fun on me out of school. Only sorry that I was unable to “fly” to Vietnam soon to show off achievements directly with three attempted appointment, three to five years after I finished school masters. “I was so looking forward to returning, although still far away, to be close, caring parents and serve the motherland. Please wait for me! “
