Vietnam Nguyen - 4th gup blue belt

Biography:
I started TKD sophomore fall for the PE credit. At first it was sort of intimidating with the new language, techniques, and customs. However, the friendly atmosphere and the beauty of the martial arts drew me in.

Where are you from (country? state? city? planet?), where did you grow up?
Texas! I was born and raised in Texas my entire life, which my accent might occasionally give away. My mind, however, is frequently lost in space somewhere during exam weeks.

Other interests:
Other clubs I am involved in include UNICEF (child's health organization), DREAM (mentoring program), VSA (Vietnamese club), and NCSC (honors society). I'm also doing laboratory research in the psychology department with mice, working towards the Presidential Scholars Program. (If anyone is interested in any of these programs/clubs, feel free to give me a blitz).

I'm looking forwards to a career in medicine. I've taken many science classes at Dartmouth, volunteered at health centers, shadowed physicians, and done research in pathology. Yes, I'm a science nerd. : )

A weird quirk:
Where do I even begin? I put ketchup on almost everything (except eggs oddly), earning myself the distinguished title of "ketchup fiend" by my freshman floor mates. I am a big fan of cartoons, including "X-Men," "Dragonball Z," "Pokemon," "Batman Beyond," and "Powerpuff Girls." Plus, I have an irregular sleeping schedule, often staying up way into the night just wasting time.
