Abstract
The segmented assimilation approach is a sociological theory that examines the assimilation outcomes of second generation immigrant peoples, or those born in the United States with at least one foreign-born parent. This is the story of how l a Vietnamese immigrant child, researched segmented assimilation as I grappled to understand why other immigrant children seemed to be on so many different life paths. This is also the story of how I avoided and then attempted to confront and reclaim my lived experiences. In the process, I realized that family solidarity and support have always been my reason and my purpose.
