The Pride of Vietnamese
I immigrated to the United States in 1992 at the age of 20. At the beginning, I overcame many difficulties. I had to work as a labor to stable my family's finance. At the same time, I was eager to know how to get back school and how far I could go. For 6 years, I completed my dream. I graduated from Vanderbilt University (cum laude), an Ivy League and had a job with The Control Systems Consulting of Honeywell Inc. The Vietnamese at large also quickly succeeds in the United States. They gain the respects from the big communities, such as, Chinese and Indian. Graduating Valedictory from a high school is common to Vietnamese. They succeeded in the fields that are hard to believe, such as, Kathleen Tran won Rhodes Scholar (2002) and Dat Nguyen was Linebacker of Dallas Cowboys (since 1999).

Tran's connections with the university run deep. Her father, Lanh Tran, is a professor of Mathematics at IUB, and her mother, Sam Tran, is a systems analyst with the IUB registrar's office.

Her brother Andrew attends the IU School of Medicine; Kathleen plans to attend medical school following her studies at Oxford.
