Some time ago, there was a boy named Huy. Huy was your average Asian kid who loved to play video games, eat a lot of food, and hang out with his friends.

Huy was the oldest of 3. He had two younger sisters, a mom and dad. They were called the Pham's. You could say that they were a Phamily.

Many years have passed since the Pham's had seen their relatives so they decided to host a family reunion at their home in hopes to bring everyone together.

The smell of home cooked Vietnamese food filled the home. The relatives arrived one by one with huge smiles on their face. There was so much love in the air mixed with everyone's excitement of seeing each other.

The kids were running around playing, while they screamed in joy. The father surrounded the television watching their favorite sports, while they screamed in anger. The mom's all gathered in the kitchen. They gossiped to each other while they prepared the food.

Auntie 1: " My daughter just got first chair in violin"

Auntie 2: "Well my daughter just got accepted in Harvard"

Auntie 3:"Well my son is a world famous chef who cooks for celebrities.

*Silence in the room*

Aunties In Unison: "What about your son?"

Mom: "He got honor roll...."

Auntie 1: "Honor Roll?!?! That's it?

Mom: " Yes He gets straight B's I'm proud of him."

Auntie 2: "Remember how much trouble we got into if we brought home a B?"

Mom: "I know..."

Auntie 3: "You let your kids become to American. He's lazy"

The party begins to fade. It's getting late and everyone is saying their goodbyes to each other.

Huy: "Mom can I go play with my friend's tomorrow?"

Mom: "NO. your grades are bad, you need to go study more.

Huy: "But..I got honor roll.

Mom: "That not good enough!"

Time had passed and Huy brought his most recent test score home.

Mom: " Another B? "

Huy: " I tried mom..."

Mom: " You need to try harder, all your cousins are very smart, how come you can't be like them."

Mom: " When I first moved to America, I had to work really really really hard."

Huy: "Mom I got an A"

Mom: "Okay.. but what about straight A's?"

Huy: "Mom I learned how to cook rice by myself

Mom: "Good."

Huy: "Mom I finally did it! I got straight A's"

Mom: "Okay focus on going to college"

Huy: " Dad I ran the mile in 6 minutes today! My fastest!"

Dad: " Back in Vietnam there were kids who ran it in 1 minute.

Huy: "Dad can we go shopping?"

Dad: "No that's for girls. What are you thinking?

Huy became really sad because all he wanted to do was make his parent's proud, but it seemed like no matter what he did, his parent were never satisfied.
