Hmong New Year!


Hmong New Year was one of the best nights serving at Rosa Parks this year! After school the Hmong Club hosted a Hmong New Year celebration complete with a talent show and tons of delicious Hmong cuisine. During my time in Sacramento I've learned so much about Hmong culture and tonight being able to watch so many of my students dance and sing in the talent show, representing their culture was amazing! My team member ,Lao, even shared his family's traditional Hmong clothing with some of us for the event! The clothes are so  delicate and sometimes are sewn and worked on for a year or more before they are ready to be worn.

 Earlier this week the choir and band put on a performance during school, so between that and the performances tonight, I have felt like a proud mom! There is one student who is super sweet, but very timid, and in both the Hmong New Year celebration and the choir shows, she had solos and performed with confidence and a sparkle I hadn't seen in her. Now every time I see her, I make a huge deal out of how amazing of a singer she is, and I always get a giant smile from her. Tonight was just one of those nights where I know I'm where I'm meant to be.
