Catherine Vuky was about two years old when her family left South Vietnam and began a new life in Oregon. Fifty years later, she reflects on the profound impact of that journey and the challenges her family faced during their transition to America.
Her parents, like many others, fled the turmoil of war, seeking safety and a better future for their children. The journey was not easy; it was filled with uncertainty and the struggle to adapt to a new culture while holding on to their heritage. Vuky recalls the sacrifices her parents made, working tirelessly to provide for their family and instill in their children the values of hard work and perseverance.
As a psychologist, Vuky draws from her personal experiences to help others navigate their own challenges. She emphasizes the importance of resilience and the strength found in community support. Her family's story serves as a powerful reminder of the immigrant experience and the enduring spirit of those who seek a better life.
