  My name is Gina Vilayphone. I'm 99.9% Laotion and 1% American. I grew up in the furniture capital of New England, Gardner Massachusetts. People refer it to G-Vegas nowadays. I don't really understand the correlation but I'm going to make a very uneducated guess and say it has to do with the hard economic times we are going through. I've been inside a home that bore no signs of love. Empty cabinets, empty fridge, empty stove, empty rooms and empty souls waiting on empty promises. History truly does repeat itself, doesn't it?
  History is one of my favorite subjects. Not just any old history, but My History. Maybe I'm a bit of a narcissist, but is it not true we were born as individuals for that very reason? To make history? To learn from our past and apply it to our future? With that being said, hopefully, I learn from this course the second time around.
  Speaking of mistakes, I finally learned to let go of the things that were holding me back in my life. I feel like a balloon that has been set free to roam the beautiful, blue skies of this earth.. I've re-gained my passion for learning and love in general. I didnt realize how much I enjoyed politics, religion, history, science, and classical music. I truly enjoy my social outings now and my circle of friends is expanding with supportive, inspirational, happy, confident, successful people. All I had to do was LET GO and as simple as it sounds, it was probably the most difficult task I have ever accomplished in my life so far.
  I would say I am a very strong willed, determined young woman because I refuse to give up when I truly believe in something. Of course that would also make me very stubborn. People would descibe me as someone who is trustworthy, caring, and opinionated because I live by the golden rule, I'm passionate, and I like to speak my mind. I am loyal to those who are loyal to me. I'm honest which is why I enjoy studying court cases. I've noticed most lawyers always twist the truth and try to paint people in the worst light. How could someone do that while under oath especially when an individual's life is at stake....Good cop, bad cop is all I have to say. Someone needs to clean up the system and make sure justice is truly served for everyone. Maybe that person will be me someday. Did I mention, I'm incredibly ambitious?

  1. Gina,

    Great first post and excellent acrostic poem. Powerful stuff.

    It's so good to see you giving this course a second chance - giving yourself a second chance to go through it - and learn more about you.

    I look forward to reading power posts each week from you.
