Thuy Vy Tran entered the Vietnamese Dominican Sisters when she was just 18 years old. As part of her ministry, her convent sent her to America to seek an education and to build a stronger relationship with the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters. Vy knew that learning complex psychology and religious terminology in a foreign language would be difficult, but she was up to the task. She also quickly garnered the support of her classmates, professors, and everyone who met her.
