Migrated from North to South

Hi my name is Susan. I am 13 now, and my family was originally from the northern Vietnam. Back then when I wasn’t born, my parents, my brother and sister, decided to migrate to Ho Chi Minh City to have a better life with better education for my older brother and sister. My family migrated from Hai Phong city to Ho Chi Minh City in the 1990s. Since 1990s, my father was an engineer for an affiliate of a company at Hochiminh city. To take advance in transport for his job, it was also a good opportunity get a better English education (there were more foreign language schools and foreign speakers at HCM than Hai Phong) for my sister, our family moved. Those have explained why I was born at Hochiminh city instead of Hai Phong and speak the Southern Vietnamese accent.
For an internal migrant like me, it was easy to interact with people, because I didn’t get into much trouble of mixing up accents. The only bad thing of living here was that I didn’t really have a lot of relatives, except for my cousins. Even though I am a northern person, but I disliked several of the northern people eating custom, because I couldn’t really eat it. Positively was that Ho Chi Minh City was one of the richest city of Vietnam, and the education with international schools here were enormous. We (me and jenny) got advances of studying English, vice versa with my relatives at Hai Phong. My father always afraid of our traditional northern identities could lose, but I don’t think so. With me, Hai Phong is always in my mind, and I do really think that migrated to here, settled on Ho Chi Minh was a fantastic deal from my dad!
