My Name is Doua Che Vang. I grew up in a small town called Columbia Heights. I went to three different schools; Columbia Heights High School, Arlington Sr. High, and North St. Paul. It was hard adapting to a new environment every time we moved but, I eventually got used to it. Throughout my whole 18 years of breathing, I played a few sports to stay active. I did soccer, basketball, volleyball, and softball. The picture to the right is a picture of my brother Tom who pretty much was by my side all my years. Like literally he was because he started school late. It wasn’t bad because if I had questions about a certain subject, he’ll know because he would be taking the exact same class. The guy next to him is Mark, my buddy, and then it’s me. Cindy, she’s the first girl to introduce herself to me at North St. Paul High School, My first friend.
