As she was growing up in the United States she wanted to have things like everyone else, but that all changed when she learned that what she wanted to do is travel. Growing up as a child she didn't receive many things but she learned to appreciate what she got because her parents were factory workers so she eventually learned that things don’t come easy.

Now we will learn Ms.Huu’s opinion on education and how she feels about Cps and what she studied at college as a graduate. As a former college student Ms. Huu studied in three majors which were Biochemistry, Biology, and Ethnobotany and as she studied these majors she thought she would go into pre medicine. But as Ms. Huu keep studying and working she ended up going into pharmacognosy which is the study of drugs from it’s origin, but in the end she ended up co-founding ICAF. And what Ms.Huu thinks about Cps, is that Cps is beinging runned the way it is suppose to be which is not to make us critical thinkers and the way she thinks this is his happening is by taking many test in one year. Ms.Huu believes that test are meaningless because she say “ Which is not to make us critical thinkers as emotional human beings as we should be it is sort of like saying fill in these circles and it is meaningless to you so how does that make you feel about school.” This shows that Ms.Huu thinks that test are not really necessary because she goes on to say that many of these test don’t evaluate the students so what’s the point of taking many test, she also goes on to say that these test don’t evaluate the student skills because she says that these test don’t test skills like peoples  presentation skills so how can they know what student are good at or not.

Now you will learn the things Ms.Huu believes are affecting our city of Chicago. One of the issues that Ms.Huu thinks is affecting our city is sexism because she says that when it comes to the workplace the majority of the time the male worker gets paid more than the women which seems to be unfair just because of the different genders so she thinks a problem. Another problem that seems to affect the city of Chicago is youth violence because children with no parents have not experienced the care and love of a parent which would lead them down the wrong path which would lead to violence and drugs. One thing she said is “To tell you guys any practice you will see that the male workers gets paid more than the female worker which is the way things are.” This shows that she believes that this is unfair because both male and female workers work at the same time and pace but the male still gets paid more which almost seems unjust so it is something to consider in the future.
