As Le Ly became a bit older, she became more and more attached to her father. She saw him as a diligent worker, easygoing, and helpful. She seemed to love when he admired her. "Even more, I was amazed and impressed by my father's pride in her [Phung Thi Chin] accomplishments (she was, after all, a humble female), and his belief that I was worth of her example. 'Con phai theo got chan co ta' (Follow in her footsteps), he said (Hayslip 29)." In my point of view, Le Ly was given the advice of following in Phung Thi's path because her father knew it would make her a stronger person and it was a great role model for her to follow. I believe that all people should have a good, humble role model to follow. In admiration to that person, it is easier to want to do something we are not used to and has a good outcome. That good outcome can teach us a single lesson that could change our lives. It would help us become stronger, better people and come to realization with particular things in our lives.
For example, I choose my grandmother Carmen as someone I should follow. She is a strong, determined, and the most compassionate woman I have ever met. She has showed me a path of forgiveness to anyone who has harmed us in anyway, for in return we have gained insight about dealing with such people. She has been my reason to forgive people when they harm me and therefore I have become a stronger person by: remembering to never look back and never struggling to move on.
