The First 22.5 Years

My name is Thu-Thao Thi Tran. I usually go by simply as Thao. My birthday is November 13, 1986. I have lived in Houston, TX, all my life with my family. I am 100% Vietnamese.

This is me!

My beautiful family consists of my parents, me, and my 2 younger siblings.

This is my family celebrating my sister's graduation
from high school in 2008.

I am Catholic, and I go to church almost every Sunday.

The family priest is holding
the newly baptized baby, ME.

I graduated summa cum laude from Cypress Ridge High School in 2005.

I had just walked off the stage!

I was on my high school's drill team called the Dazzlers for 3 years. I became a Social Officer my senior year.

This is me in my Dazzler field uniform.

Through Dazzlers, I met 3 incredible young ladies my sophomore year who became my best friends.

I have such beautiful sisters of different DNAs!

I took piano lessons for 6 years.

This is from my last piano recital in 2002.

I attended the University of Houston for 4 years to become an elementary educator.

Go Coogs!

I worked at Target Pharmacy for 1.5 years.

My Pharmacist-In-Charge gave me
this dog Bullseye, Pharm.D., R.Ph.

I had braces from 5th grade to the middle of 6th grade.

Luckily, I do NOT have a picture of me
wearing my headgear! :X

That's all for now! :)
