CURRENT MISSION

Improving my French to it's true potential

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Bee Yang and I'm a college student from Michigan, United States of America. I go to Grand Valley State University and I'm majoring French. My minor will be in Computer Information Technology. I'm am currently 20 years old and I currently work at the gym on our college campus.
I was born in Bangkok, Thailand, grew up in Pontiac, MI but my hometown is in Waterford, MI. I am bilingual; I speak Hmong and English. Some may say that I am trilingual because my French is kind of good but I beg to differ. I go to school two and a half hours away fro my college but I still manage to find the time to go home and visit my family. I have 5 sisters. Yes, 5. Ages are 22, 18, 17, 5 and 1. They are all very dear and close to me and I would give everything up for them. I'm a very shy person when you first meet me but I always warm up to those who are nice and fun. When people say that their childhood and past has shaped who they are, I can definitely agree.
I love the french life and culture. Art, music, dance, food, cafes, family dynamics, open mindedness. Sometimes I believe I was a French person born in a different body. As weird as that sounds, I am so in love with the French language.

PHILOSOPHY

My parents have always reminded me that there's karma in life and one needs to live life by the golden rule.
Lifelong learning, open mindedness, progress, truth, justice, chivalry, faith, self-acceptance, and above all LOVE.
Life is far too short. Live. Laugh. LOVE.

...And LOVE is my religion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I break the typical American stereotype. Knowing what my past is like such as where I grew up, the personality that I have, and the fact that I am a francophile, that should tell you that I am not like what you would think. I'm always willing to share my story with everyone. Who I am and how I got to where I am has always been very moving for people. And I think everyone benefits from everyone.
