For student life activity I decided to attend a club, I was standing outside the VSA club room pondering weather to go in or not. I originally planned to join a fraternity but felt uneasy trying to “rush” to get in. I chose VSA because I was recommend to join by some upper classmate. However what drawn me into the room was the warm welcome from the VSA board. The members had big smiles on their faces and invited me to sit. They didn’t rush me in or pressure me, letting me know I can come in whenever I felt like I was ready. When I first sat in the room I was panicking, I didn’t know anyone in the room. But luckily the next two people who sat next to me were friends from the past. Thats when I met James a board member who came up to us and started introduction himself and the club. In VSA we learned about Vietnamese food and new phrases. We watched a tutorial created by Maggie I think….on how to make summer rolls. What came after was probably the part that everyone enjoyed. We got to make our own summer rolls. I initially doubted the food, I thought it would taste horrible. So I asked for only lettuce and noodles taking out the protein. To my surprise it was not that bad, it went well with one of the sauces they gave out. The language workshop taught us the correct pronunciation for different foods. So when we go to restaurants the waiters will look at you impressed. Besides knowing the names to foods, they also taught us greetings and manners. We practiced each phrase twice before they surprised us with a pop quiz. First group to correctly label each picture with the correct translation wins. If we didn’t have Bryant we wouldn’t have a chance of winning. Shout out to Bryant for carrying. For my first time at VSA it was a lot of fun, gettingto know new people, and your own food, and learning some Vietnamese. I plan to join future events with VSA and get to know more people.
