With nearly 20 years of working at this school, she is considered a "big tree", a shining example of dedication in work because of her specific, practical, and effective contributions to the school and more importantly, her kindness, tolerance, helping colleagues, and love for students...
Always remembering Uncle Ho's teachings "must constantly learn, work, and be creative...", she always seeks out innovative experiences, and offers useful solutions to apply in the teaching process. Up to now, she has many innovative experiences that have been applied by many colleagues in the teaching process and achieved high results.
In particular, she and the Board of Directors launched the study and follow of Uncle Ho's teachings on changing the way of working, not having the disease of achievement, studying for real, taking real exams, evaluating students fairly and objectively; studying to improve qualifications, arousing the awareness of self-study, self-research, and mutual learning among the teaching staff to continuously improve professional qualifications.
She is always sociable and listens to her colleagues' opinions, plays the role of a Vice Principal, and strives her best for the school and her beloved students.
Adopt a student
Not only does she complete her schoolwork well, Ms. Xuan also participates well in social work. At Le Loi High School, she holds the "record" of donating blood 4 times. Every time the Red Cross launched a humanitarian blood donation movement, she volunteered many times with the wish to share: "A drop of blood given, a life saved". She also encouraged her friends, relatives and students in the school to participate.
Since February 2012, she has adopted a student who was abandoned by his biological parents when he was born, and whose adoptive mother died early due to a serious illness. He is currently a 12th grader at Le Loi High School and lives with the family.
From the 2012-2013 to the 2015-2016 school years, I was an excellent student in all aspects. In the 2014-2015 school year, I participated in the provincial excellent student selection exam and won third prize in the provincial History subject.
