Huynh Introducing My Low Lifestyle

Hello, my name is AnhTri Huynh, which is pronounced On Chee Hwin when saying it with an American accent. It'd be too hard for me to explain how to say my name. I'm Vietnamese but born and raised in Marrero, Louisiana. English is my first language and sadly I barely speak Vietnamese. I'm a commuter, so I find myself spending more time on the road than ever before. I'm a Biology Pre-med major, and most of my days are spent here 8-5. I'm glad there is an anime class, as my list indicates I've watched way too many.

Many of you may not have heard about "The Low Lifestyle" until today in class, where Mrs. McCay introduced me via my index card. That moment was a great feeling for me, because it gave me a chance to spread the word about "The Low Lifestyle". It wasn't surprising to see that many people didn't know what it was, and I felt even better telling everyone. I strive to help people understand the concept, as many people ask me, "Why do you drive your car so low? You can't go anywhere like that!" My feelings are that you don't need to go everywhere, it's more about where you do go. By that I mean that if you go everywhere, you won't get to know the places that well, but if you go to the same area frequently, you get to know the roads like the back of your hand and also people get to know you, but in my case they know me by my car.

Some people tell me I can't drive downtown or in the French Quarter. My response is indeed I can, I just need to drive on the main roads which are usually the smoother ones. I also carry wood planks in my trunk to get over certain speed bumps and curbs, and many people say it's too much trouble, but I'm glad to drive so low static. Static means that my car's height does not change while driving, meaning there's no airbags or helper cups to raise my car at any time while driving. There's a feeling of satisfaction everyday to drive this low going to Loyola. I can say that I scraped a few times, but I made it around fine, all while looking unique and standing out from the norm on the road.

Cars are a passion in my life, from childhood to now. I can thank my brother for that since he's a big inspiration in my life, he's like a role model for myself. Even with cars in my life, I have other passions I like to take part in. Some being photography, anime, manga, Korean dramas, and food. They aren't as big a part of my life as The Low Lifestyle, but I still find myself on a photography craze for a week. The same can be said for my other passions, but The Low Lifestyle will always be #1.

It's not my fault I can't drive downtown because my car is low, it's because the roads are too high.
