Talking about the brain-teaser show he just participated in, Dat shared: “I applied to participate in the show a long time ago, but I still didn’t hear from the TV station, I thought I wouldn’t be able to compete anymore. Then suddenly I received an invitation just 10 days before the competition.”

According to Dat, this was his first time participating in the competition, and he met some of his friends who were students from specialized schools, but he was still very calm, confident, and competed with all his might. "Participating in the program with the spirit of exchange and learning, I felt quite comfortable. I consider this an interesting experience, an unforgettable memory for me and my friends and teachers at school" - Dat shared.

It is known that accompanying Dat in this competition, in addition to his family and relatives, there are also many teachers and many students and alumni of Thanh Chuong 3 High School, including more than 30 students of class 12 A1.

The joy of a family with two excellent children, both winning laurel wreaths in the program "Road to Olympia" is spreading throughout the cozy house, filled with laughter.

Teacher Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong, Dat's mother, excitedly shared: When writing the application to join the program, both Dat and Dat had previously hidden it from their parents, and only "revealed" it after receiving the invitation from the TV station, because they were afraid their parents would not support them. Hopefully this will be a great source of spiritual encouragement for him to try harder and make more efforts on the upcoming journey./.
