The story of 'My Diary' winning first prize in the contest 'Being a girl is great'

(Baonghean.vn) - 'My Diary' is only 300 words long but is the touching writing of a young mother from Nghe An. The article also surpassed more than 150,000 other entries to win first prize in the contest 'Being a girl is great'...

The author of the article, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc, could not go to Hanoi to receive the award because that was also the time when she went into labor to give birth to her first child. However, when she learned that she had won first prize, she could not help but be moved because "when I typed the first lines, I simply wanted to share my feelings"... But then, above all, the article caused strong emotions because of the sincere feelings that the writer had conveyed in it...

Ngoc is a girl full of determination.

“My mother told me that I cried out at birth on a spring morning. The whole family happily welcomed the new member in the loving embrace of the family…” she shared in her contest diary.

Growing up by the Lam River, Ngoc's life was as simple as that of many children in the village. But then, happiness was short-lived when one day Ngoc was "shocked to hear that her father drowned while working on sand at the river wharf". The day her father left, she was in extreme pain but Ngoc's father's words still echoed in her ears: "Before the exam, I will return to the city. I will buy you a new backpack, the one you are carrying is very old...".

Losing a support, Ngoc sometimes thought she could not stand up. But then, as the eldest sister, with two younger siblings and her mother behind her, Ngoc did not want to fall: "I returned to the city and threw myself into studying, feeling the pain and the desire to dream. Sometimes, I felt extremely tired, but looking at my mother's hard-working figure, I suddenly told myself: I have to keep trying!"

Although she was a national excellent student in Biology, Ngoc is a girl who loves to write and compose poetry.

The smile returned to Ngoc's family probably when Ngoc received the news that she won third prize in Biology, the National Excellent Student Competition and was admitted directly to university. At that time, there were many options but Ngoc "chose Medicine because I was always haunted by the pain..." After graduating, with an excellent degree and many job opportunities, Ngoc chose to return to her hometown, even though her friends said it was a wrong decision. Only Ngoc "They did not know that I had kindled my dream from the pain of witnessing the suffering and loss of my family".

The joy of young family.

Ngoc’s story is simple with different slices of her life. However, hidden behind it is the determination of a poor girl who knows how to overcome circumstances, overcome difficulties and always live responsibly with her family. Perhaps that is why, although currently, life has just begun with a young mother, Ngoc is happy with her job, with her family, and with a husband that Ngoc considers “a love story that only exists in fairy tales”.

Ngoc also confided that: being a girl, many people think that it will be a disadvantage. But for me, I find being a girl is great because if I try, girls can also be a reliable support, can also be strong and do many good, useful things... for everyone.
