235/365

Name: Viet
Three words to describe yourself: indecisive, passionate, one-track-mind
Until the 6th grade, Viet lived in San Diego, California, and before moving to Athens, he lived in Banks County, Georgia for seven years. His parents are originally from Vietnam and they immigrated to America because of the war. Currently at UGA, Viet is undecided about a major but he is thinking about studying Psychology. For future endeavors, Viet would like to do more mission work; he has been to New Orleans twice for missions. As far as traveling goes, Viet wants to go to Rome and Vatican City because he is Catholic and wants "to see how Christianity has fought for so long." In his free time, Viet likes running, and if he could do anything in the world, Viet would travel the world "to see different cultures and different perspectives".
