“Nhat” by Susan Braccia
Nhat’S Story (2008)
Nhat grew up in the country-side, but has resided in Hoi An for the past 20 years. She has always been grateful to be surrounded by a good family life, which include her supportive fi ve sisters and one brother. Nhat contracted Polio at the age of one and has incredible difficulty in walking, but this does not get in the way of her ambitious nature. Nhat completed school until Year 12 and learned English by taking evening classes. Her goal is to one day become a business manager of a small shop. Life continues to look optimistic. Her recent surgery now allows her to walk slowly with braces.
