My mom is a doctor. She studied at medical college in Ho Chi Minh city. Before that, she lived in Ca Mau, it is a small city of Vietnam, then she moved to Ho Chi Minh to study. She migrated because in Ca Mau there was no college and in Ho Chi Minh there was a better life for mom. It was a pull factor made mom moved. We call this is internal migration.  My mom moved within the country because at the time she was studying university, her family was still very poor. She would need a lot of money to study in another country. And also, she didn’t know foreign language so it would be the huge problems. And the last simple reason is she wants to visit her hometown more often. If she moved without her country, it would be hard.

Not only my mom, there are also many people immigrated because of their towns didn’t have a lot of kind of colleges such as medical or law colleges. That could be the reason to make the urbanization. About her, when she moved here, because she came from the town so her classmates who lived in the city dislike her. It was the negative effect to herself. And the positive effects were she followed medicine, she needed some large hospital to practice her skills. And in the city, an area that she could communicate and exchange was larger than her hometown. She thought that it could be a motivation in the future to lead her to become confident to interact with her patients after her graduation. And in the city, she also had good conditions to read more books and to study well. But the city is also very crowed and noisy. It is very complicated and many society’s traps that she needed to face with.
