Nguyen Van Dung (born in 1990, from Nam Loc commune, Nam Dan district, Nghe An province) has a congenital disability since childhood, making it very difficult for him to walk, requiring the use of wooden crutches. However, with a burning desire to go to school, and with the help of his parents and friends, he has completed 12 years of schooling.

During the exam days, Dung was "escorted" to the exam site by his older brother, and from the school gate to the exam room, he received help from friends and invigilators. Knowing that he had difficulty walking, Dung and his brother left very early to make it on time for the exam. With the help of his friends, Dung managed to make it up to the exam room on the second floor of the Vinh University exam site.

Dung said: “I’ve had atrophy in both legs since I was little, and my family is struggling financially, so we couldn’t afford surgery or orthopedic treatment. My life has been tied to wooden crutches. Before, I felt very self-conscious and insecure. But I know that the only way to overcome my circumstances is to study. With the encouragement of my parents, and the help, support, and encouragement of my friends and teachers, I am very confident entering this exam. I hope I will do well to live up to everyone’s expectations…”

Dreaming of becoming a computer engineer, Dung applied to the Faculty of Information Technology at Vinh University. "Becoming an IT engineer is my dream. Having a stable job, being able to support myself so as not to be a burden to my family and society is my greatest aspiration."

May the dreams of this resilient disabled boy come true…
