Here it is, Draw My Life.

I had a tough time making this because,

well, I have to tell my entire life story under 20 minutes.

I can barely remember what I did yesterday.

So this will be a very brief summary of my life.

I would love to get more in depth,

but we can save that for another time.

So, let's get drawing!

There are 7 billion people in this world,

meaning there are 7 billion stories to be told told.

But today,

I'm going to tell you one story from someone who was born in this tiny town in Massachusetts called Boston

or Bastin, AKA Beantown.

January 1987, it was snowing and my mother and father were driving.

At this time, my mother was six months pregnant

and she asked my father what my name should be and they both decided on Michelle.

However, My mom looked over at him and asked,

well, what about her Vietnamese name?

He looked out the window and saw this beautiful snowflake and he said,

Duy C Bằng, which means avalanche.

Thanks dad for naming me after something so terrifying.

Hi, my name is avalanche and I could potentially kill you.

Nice to meet you.

So that's me, an avalanche.

Four months later, I was born.

Year of the rabbit.

My welcome party was lovely.

My mother told me that when she brought me home and placed me in my crib,

my brother thought I was a toy so he literally jumped and slammed himself on top of me.

Apparently I stopped breathing and my mother thought I died.

Anyways, that's how I first met my amazing brother, Steve.

A few years later, we all packed up and moved to California.

Now if you don't know this landmark,

this is the Golden Gate Bridge and it's located in San Francisco.

This is where we moved.

Alright, so I'm going to draw my family portrait.

This is my mom, her name is Hieng which means gentle one in Vietnamese,

myself, Michelle or Avalanche, my brother Steve,

and of course my wonderful father.

We were a very loving family.

While living in San Francisco,

we moved several different times,

at least over six times in one year.

I remember packing and moving,

and at first I thought it was fun,

but later I found out it was because my father had a gambling addiction.

He was a very loving father,

but his weakness was playing poker.

It was so bad that he would gamble all our rent money and we would get evicted.

That's why we kept moving.

It broke my mother's heart.

I'll never forget seeing my mother cry.

I realized at a very early age that I couldn't wait to grow up so I could help her.

Because we moved so often,

I ended up going to several different schools in one year.

So it was hard for me to make friends because not only was I shy,

but I was always the new girl.

Luckily, I had an imagination.

And I drew a lot.

Disney princesses were one of my favorite things to draw.

I wanted to be just like them.

Oakland, California.

This is where I made my first friend.

I finally felt like I belonged.

It was a wonderful feeling and I remember I had so much fun.

You never forget the first friend you make.

I will never forget her.

Sadly it didn't last long.

My father told us that we had to move again and I never saw her again.

But it's okay.

You guys are now my friends.

So we were on the road again.

We packed all our things in a van and drove out to Florida.

He said we would be moving next to Disney World and we could see Mickey.

Later we found out that,

well, that's Orlando, that's where Disney World is at,

and we are right there, Tampa.

Womp womp.

Not really close to Orlando,

but my first day at school was pretty hard.

I never felt so different in my life.

There wasn't a lot of Asian people at my school,

and my classmates, they made fun of me, calling me names.

Man, kids can be so cruel.

But it's okay.

I found something else that made me smile.

It was drawing.

I draw superheroes all day in class.

I even created a superhero version of myself.

I seriously thought that when I grew up, I would have superpowers.

One morning I woke up and I noticed that my father was missing.

My mother was so heartbroken.

I didn't know why my father left.

But every night, I would wait for him to come back.

He never did.

However we carried on, my mother is a strong woman,

and she found a way to take care of us.

We were happy.

We didn't have much, but we had each other.

100

My mother was a bombshell.

101

It didn't take her long to finally remarry.

102

And we were so excited because now, we had a stepdad.

103

We were so happy to finally have a father again.

104

A year later, my little sister was born.

105

Steve and I were overjoyed to have a little sister.

106

And I was excited to be a big sister.

107

And her name is Christine.

108

I loved her so much.

109

I was never happy when I was home.

110

Turns out, my stepdad wasn't the father I dreamt of.

111

This is something I'd rather not talk about.

112

But my mother was the best.

113

She loved me so much and one Christmas I'll never forget.

114

I got the very I've always wanted a Sailor Moon doll.

115

It was everything to me.

116

The second thing I wanted was this Barbie dream house

117

But my family couldn't afford it which was totally fine

118

because I made my own dream house out of cardboard box I cut out a door a window

119

and every day after school I couldn't wait to come home to play with my dolls.

120

It's funny how the best things in life are the most simple in Middle school.

121

I played the trumpet.

122

Oh, man my mom she nagged at me all the time she wished

123

that I could play the flute or a violin something

124

that was less loud than a trumpet high school I grew out of playing dolls instead I played games

125

when my parents were arguing I would either save the world

126

or become the world's greatest warrior I even picked up on manga art

127

and wrote and drew a lot of my own stories it was my only escape from reality.

128

See, we didn't have the internet so you guys today lucked out.

129

Gosh, teenage years, always so awkward.

130

I wanted to wear makeup so badly but my mother,

131

she wouldn't let me.

132

But little by little, she allowed me to wear a little bit of eyeliner

133

and then mascara and afterwards she let me wear colored lip gloss.

134

It was a pretty big deal for me.

135

I loved makeup so much because to me, it was like drawing.

136

It was on my own face.

137

Senior year of high school,

138

I couldn't take the hurt anymore.

139

My stepdad left a lot of scars that I'm still trying to heal from.

140

The heart can only take so much.

141

My mother said enough was enough and we all left him.

142

We packed up our things and went to find a new home.

143

It was just us again, but it felt right.

144

Just like old times.

145

We didn't know what was going to happen,

146

but we knew that we were going to walk together.

147

It wasn't easy.

148

We had to move a few times and at one point,

149

we could only afford to rent a bedroom from a family.

150

We all shared a bed and my brother would sleep on the floor.

151

My brother and I had to work to help out my mother.

152

It was tough but we made it through together as a family.

153

We were unbreakable.

154

A miracle happened.

155

I was able to attend college.

156

That meant I had to move an hour away from them and I was devastated.

157

I cried so much because it was my first time away from home.

158

And it also meant that I couldn't have my mom's pho as much.

159

Man, you cried too because it is so good.

160

My college gave out laptops to all the students.

161

I always dreamt of having my own laptop,

162

but I never thought I'd have one.

163

Well guess what, this was the laptop where I filmed my very first makeup tutorial.

164

I just wanted to show every girl out there how beautiful she was and how makeup can be their own superhero costume.

165

Batman, Superman, Spiderman, without their costumes,

166

they're still powerful, but it's their costume that tells the world that they're superheroes.

167

Anyways, I'd love to go more into details about how everything happened,

168

but this video would be two hours long,

169

so I'm just going to fast forward to today.

170

I now live in two cities,

171

one being New York, also known as the Big Apple, and Los Angeles.

172

I got my family a home where they're safe and happy.

173

My mother is as beautiful as ever and hasn't aged a day.

174

My little sister grew up so fast.

175

She's now a beautiful young lady.

176

As for my brother, being the awesome guy that he is,

177

found someone really special.

178

married a beautiful woman.

179

You might know her as, promise.

180

So everyone is happy and healthy.

181

As for me, well, let's just say I met someone very special in Paris.

182

This is another story that deserves to be told,

183

but I'll save that for another time.

184

But that's pretty much a brief summary of my story.

185

Even when times were tough,

186

my childlike spirit never died.

187

I found that very thing that takes me to a happy place.

188

It was art.

189

And to others, it could be music, writing, video games.

190

Whatever it is, finding that special thing will help move you forward.

191

Kind of like a lotus flower finding sunlight in muddy water.

192

When all odds are against it,

193

it will still rise up to bloom.

194

We all have a story to tell,

195

and we are all part of something beautiful.

196

To the world, you may be one person,

197

but to one person, you may be the world.

198

Every great dream begins with a dreamer,

199

and every dreamer has a story.

200

So don't settle for a happy ending,

201

because to be continued is way more fun.

202

And I'm wishing you the best on your story.

203

Good luck on the next chapter in your life.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
