When she was sixteen years old she was married to my father, and now she is seventy-three years old and she has had eleven children, eight boys and three girls.

My mum always helps other people and she is a very happy woman. Back in Vietnam she had her own business and she also looked after her family so well at the same time. She is a real hero for all the time and things she has given to her family and friends.

Another of my heroes is Doctor Chang. He was a very special heart surgeon. He taught many students in the hospital, and he helped the people who had heart problems. He talked and said don’t worry, because he thought he was a good doctor and he was 90% successful in operations for the people, his patients, are still alive.

In 1992 he went home and on the way, one young man took a gun and killed him on the street in Sydney. When he died, a lot of people cried and were very upset, but I don’t understand why he killed him. I think Doctor Chang is a hero and the top doctor in the world. I will remember him.
