Bài viết sưu tầm của con trai tôi, Vincent, viết cách đây 6 năm. Tôi đề nghị đăng hay gửi bài này "Tìm hiểu Suy Nghĩ Lớp Trẻ Tại Hải Ngoại", để các con cháu viết thêm nhửng suy nghĩ của đám trẻ, đồng thời tụi mình học hỏi thêm về những suy nghĩ mới này. Nếu các bạn có dịp dộng viên các cháu viết và đóng góp thêm những suy nghĩ riêng tư, để cho bài sưu tầm này thêm phong phú. Rất tiếc bài viết bằng tiếng Anh, hy vọng chúng ta sẽ dịch lại sau khi có những ý kiến đóng góp của các cháu khác. Mong tất cả chúng ta mở rộng bàn tay để hoan hỷ đón nhận những suy nghĩ của các cháu lớn lên ở hải ngoại.
