Returning to Vietnam after being overseas for 10+ years.
Hi guys, I am 20Y currently on a student visa in Australia. My parents have worked hard their entire lives to allow me to study here in Australia, and I regret to say that I feel like I've failed them. Since entering university, I haven't been able to find much drive or motivation, and I've had to repeat my first year three times so far. This third time, however, I feel like it may be my last, especially with my expiring visa. I can't take the pressure anymore, and I feel like I will likely fail again. I know this probably sounds pathetic, and ultimately, I know that I am responsible for where I am now. I did this to myself, so I won't say too much more about that.
What I'm really here to ask is about life in Vietnam and what you think my next steps should be. I moved to Australia when I was very young, with my parents sharing the responsibility of raising me. When I turned 18, I had to begin living by myself. As you can imagine, my Vietnamese is intermediate at best, and I struggle even more with reading and writing.
In the very likely event that I have to return to Vietnam, my main question is: what do I do?
I did fairly well in high school, but I'm fairly sure that Australian high school results won't carry over to Vietnam. With my limited Vietnamese, I'm also worried about whether there is any higher education I could realistically pursue. I am planning to work as well, so that I don't have to rely on my parents as much.
I can't think of much more to ask. Please feel free to give me any advice or share your experiences. Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and I apologise that you had to read this rather pathetic post and if I've broken any rules in this subreddit.
