I had a tough time making it because well... I have to tell my entire life story under 20 minutes.

I can barely remember what I did yesterday

So this will be very brief summary of my life

I'd love to get more in depth but we can save it for another time

So, let's keep drawing!

There are 7 billion people in this world, meaning, there are 7 billion stories to be told

But today, I am going to tell you 1 story from someone

who was born in tiny town in Massachusetts, called Boston, or Bastan, AKA, B-town

Jan-1987, it was snowing, and my mother and my father were driving.

At this time my mother was 6 months pregnant.

And she asked my father what my name should be.

And they both decided on Michelle.

However my mom looked over at him and asked well, what about a Vietnamese name?

He looked out the window and saw this beautiful snow's fleck

and he said: "Tuyet Bang", which means Avalanche.

Thanks Dad for naming me after something so terrifying!

Hey! My name is Avalanche and I could potentially kill you!

Nice to meet you!

So, that's me! An avalanche.

Four months later, I was born. Yelled the rabbit

My welcome party was ...lovely.

My mother told me that when she brought me home and placed me in my creep,

My brother though I was a toy so he literally jumped and slamed himself on top of me.

Apparently I stopped breathing and my mother though I died.

Anyways, that how I first met my amazing brother, Steve.

And 3 years later we all pack up and moved to California

Now, if you don't know this slang mark

This is Golden Gate Bridge. And it located in San Francisco

This is where we moved

Alright, so I gonna draw my family portraits

This is my mom. Her name is Hien, which mean gentle one in Vietnamese

Myself, Michelle, or Avalanche. My brother Steve

And of course, my wonderful father.

We were a very loving family.

While living in San Francisco, we moved several different times.

At least over six times in one year.

I remember packing and moving, and first I thought it was fun but later I found out that because my father has a gambling addiction.

He was a very loving father but his weaknesses were playing poker.

It was so bad that he would gamble all our rent money and we would get evicted.

That's why we kept moving.

He broke my mother's heart.

I never forget seeing my mother cry.

I realized that in very early age that I couldn't wait to grow up so I could help her.

Because we moved so often so I ended up going to several different schools in 1 year.

So it was hard for me to make friends because not only was I shy but I was always the new girl.

Luckily, I had imagination, and I drew a lot.

These little princes were one of my favorite things to draw.

I wanted to be just like them.

Rocklin California, this is where I made my first friend.

I finally found like I belonged. This is wonderful feeling.

And I remember I had so much fun.

You never forget the first friend you make. I'll never forget her.

Sadly it didn't last long.

My father told that we had to move again, and I never saw her again.

But it's okay. You guys are now my friends.

So, we were on the road again.

We packed all our things in advance. And drew up to Florida.

He said we would be moving next to Disney World and we could see Mickey.

Later we found out that well... that's Orlando, that's where Disney World is

And we are right there Otampa.

Pom-pom. Not really close to Orlando but my first day at school was pretty hard.

I never felt like so different of my life.

There weren't a lot of Asian people in my school. And my classmate, they made fun of me.

Calling me names... Man, kid gonna be so crew.

But, it's okay.

I found something else that made me smile.

I was drawing.

I drew super hero all day in class.

I even created a super hero version of myself.

I seriously though that when I grew up, I would have super powers.

One morning I woke up,

And I noticed that my father was missing.

My mother was so heartbroken.

I didn't know why my father left.

But every night, I would wait for him to come back.

He never did...

However we carried on. My mother is a strong woman.

And she found a way to take care of us.

We were happy

We didn't have much but we have each other

My mother was a boom show. It didn't take her long to finally remarried.

And we were so excited because now we had a step dad.

We were so happy to finally to have a father again

A year later, my little sister was born. Steve and I were over choice to have a little sister.

And I was excited to be a big sister.

And her name is Christine

I love her so much

I was never happy when I was home

Turned out, my step dad wasn't the father I dreamed of.

This is something I'd rather not talk about.

But, my mother was the best. She loved me so much

And one Christmas, I'll never forget, I got a very thing I always wanted it.

A Sailormoon Doll.

It was everything to me

The second thing I wanted was a baby dream house, but my family couldn't afford it.

Which was totally fine, because I made my own dream house out of carton box.

I cut out a door, a window, and every day after school,

I couldn't wait to come home to play with my dolls.

That's funny how the best thing in life is most simple.

In middle school, I played a trumpet.

Oh man, my mom, she's mad at me all the time.

She wished that I could play a flutter or violin, something that was less loud than a trumpet

High school, I grew out of playing dolls. Instead I was playing games.

One my parents were arguing, I would either save the world, or become the world's greatest warrior.

I even pick up on manga art and wrote and drew a lot of my own stories.

It was only my escape from reality.

See, we didn't have the internet so you guys today lock out.

Gosh... teenagiers.. always so awkward.

I wanted to wear make up so badly but my mother, she wouldn't let me.

But little by little, she allowed me to wear a little bit of eyeliner, and then mascara,

And afterward, she let me wear color lip gloss. That was a pretty big deal for me.

I loved make up so much because to me, it was like drawing.

It was on my own face.

Senior year of high school, I couldn't take the hurt any more.

My step dad left a lot of scar that... I am still trying to heal from them..

The heart can only take so much.

My mother said enough was enough.

And we all left him.

We packed up our things and went to find a new home.

It was just us again.

But It felt right. Just like old times

We didn't know what will going to happen but we knew that we gonna walk together

It wasn't easy

We had to move a few times then that's one point, we could only afford to rent a bedroom for a family.

We all shared the bad, and my brother was sleep on the floor

My brother and I had to work to help my mother.

It was tough but we made it together as a family.

We were unbreakable.

A miracle happened. I was able to attend college.

That means I had to move away from them and I was devastated

I cried so much because It was my first time away from home.

And it also meant that I couldn't have my mom's Pho much.

Man, you'd be cried too because it is so good.

My college gave out laptops to all the students.

I always tried to have my own laptop but I never thought I have one

Well guess what, this is the laptop where I firmed my very first make up tutorials.

I just wanted to show every girl out there how beautiful she was.

And how make up can be their own super hero costume.

Badman, Superman, Spiderman. Without their costumes, they're still powerful

We did a costume that tell the world that you are super hero

Anyways, I'd love to go more into details about how everything happened

But this video will be 2 hours long so

I am just gonna fast board to today.

I now live in 2 cities: One being NY, also known as the big apple

And Los Angeles

I got my family a home where they are safe and happy

My mother is as beautiful as ever and hasn't aged a day

My little sister has grown up so fast. She's now a beautiful young lady

As for my brother, being an awesome guy that he is, found someone who is special

He married to a beautiful woman, you might know her asap. Promise.

So, everyone is happy and healthy

As for me, well, let's just say, I met someone very special in Paris

this is some other stories that deserved to be told but I will save that for an other time

But that's pretty much a brief summary for my story.

Even when time was tough, my child's experience would never die

I found that very thing that takes me to a happy place

It was art

And to other, it can be music, riding, videogames,

Whatever it is, finding that special thing will help you moving forward.

Kind of like a lotus flower, finding some light, in muddy water

when all other against it, t will still rises up to bloom

We all have stories to tell And we all have something beautiful

To the world, you may be one person But to one person, you maybe the world.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer And every dreamer has a story.

So don't settle for happy ending

Because to be continued, is way more fun.

And I am wishing you the best on your story.

Good luck on the next chapter in your life.
