I am here for Friends

About Me


My name is Quyen, pronounced Quinn, as in Dr. Quinn medicine woman. But my mom calls me Quincy, and my younger sisters and even their friends call me Chi Quyen. I have 2 brothers, 3 sisters, and 109384938493 cousins. I'm basically related to every Vietnamese person in Orange County, and every year our parents introduce us to more people we don't know, that are somehow related to the family. But its a good thing. The more family we have, the better. Because in the end, they are the ones that are there to support and love you in everything that you do and no matter what happens. And of course, your family doesn't have to be blood related, my other family is made up of my friends who've stuck with me through everything, no matter how bitchy I became, or how long it was since our last conversation. I can always depend on them to be there for me when I need them. So I can honestly say, that I am nothing without my family. I would not be where I am today, nor would I be the person I am today without them. So, to my family, thank you.
