本研究旨在探討一位越南新住民女性立志向上的生命故事。研究者採敘說研究,透過訪談、觀察及文本分析等方式蒐集資料,連結研究參與者之述說內容,共同構成一個有系統及結構性的脈絡故事,在與研究參與者持續的互動過程,從中建構其過去的經驗,組織成一完整有意義的人生故事。結論發現,從研究參與者自身的成長經驗、職場上有能力但欠缺學歷的遺憾、遠嫁來台的辛酸、學習階段時所受到的貶低與歧視,在重新審視自己的歷程中,重建構自己的價值、釋懷、甚至轉變為正向的力量,並且找到生命存在的意義。本研究亦期望能透過研究參與者的生命故事,讀者們更能以欣賞、理解及尊重的胸襟,與不同族群及不同國家的新住民,更為融洽且構築更美好和諧的社會。
