My name is Linh Hoang, and I am a freshman majoring in English Education at Florida State University. I am a part of the University Honors Program. I am from Vietnam, a wonderful country with friendly people and breath-taking scenery (come and visit my country after COVID-19). I am an ambivert, and I enjoy listening to music, especially K-pop and piano covers, and watching dramas, movies, and TV shows. I also love learning foreign languages; in fact, I am self-learning Korean and French! After my graduation, I will return to my hometown and become an English teacher for Vietnamese learners of all ages and backgrounds!

I have been using my laptop for school projects since junior high. I started learning how to use Word, Excel, and Powerpoint during 7th grade to write essays, produce simple presentations, and track data worksheets. I also used laptops, computers, and phones to search information on Google or check my daily To-do list. Nowadays, due to the pandemic, I frequently use emails, messages, Face-time, Zoom, etc. on my laptop to chat with friends and family members, as well as to communicate with teachers via these online platforms. I always had a difficult time dealing with new technologies and applications at first; however, I got used to them after several weeks of practicing so I hope that I will also be able to overcome technological obstacles to gain some new skills that may help me succeed I the future!

For my personal learning network, I usually use social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) to get connected to the world by reading news across all fields, and learning some educational tips through others' posts. My friends and I often create group chats via Messenger and GroupMe to discuss our projects and share our research information. I also join in private student groups on Facebook to get updates news and notification regarding college life. Personally, I prefer browsing things online (on the Internet and schools' digital libraries) so I don't have many experiences looking for learning resources offline. However, I do believe that offline resources are also great tools for student to navigate through their college career.
