The poor girl but always independent and strong

Understanding her family's situation, Kim Loan tries to study well, achieves high results and is always obedient.

I was very touched when reading some of the pitiful situations in the "Firefly Light Scholarship" contest which has a very humane meaning. I suddenly remembered the situation of Kim Loan, the neighbor girl who is the most disadvantaged in the group, but still achieved remarkable academic results. Therefore, I want to share with everyone.

Loan’s father washes cars at the beginning of my neighborhood, while her mother stays at home as a housewife and peels onions for a restaurant. Loan and her parents live in the family shrine with their grandmother, the shrine takes up most of the space, so the living space for four people is only a few square meters. Yet there is still room for her grandmother (who lies down) and a neat study corner for Loan.

The family is poor, they don't even have a motorbike. Loan wants to walk to school, but her mother doesn't let her. She thinks that life is difficult and lacking in many things, if they can't take their child to school by motorbike, they will have to walk with their child. In the future, they will try their best to buy a motorbike to take their child to school in far away places.

Understanding the situation, since she was little, Loan has always been conscious of studying. After dinner, she helps her mother clean the kitchen and then sits right at the desk to study. Every time I come to her house, seeing Loan's way of studying and how she concentrates on her homework makes me love her even more. She is thin but so strong. Many times while studying, when she hears her grandmother coughing, she rubs oil on her... Just like that, without needing extra classes, she was still an excellent student for 3 years from grade 1 to grade 3. In grade 4, she achieved the best student achievement in the class. Her parents and grandmother were very happy, and the neighbors I know were also happy for her efforts.

However, to achieve excellent results in 4th grade, we cannot fail to mention the help of Ms. Uyen, the homeroom teacher. She tutored Loan completely free of charge. Loan came to her house regularly every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening. Her academic ability was already good, but now that she was tutored, Loan rose to the top of the class.

One thing I admire about Loan is that in addition to her learning spirit, she is also very confident. Loan does not show any shyness or inferiority because of her difficult circumstances, but on the contrary, she uses it as a motivation to try harder every day. She still plays with her friends, and does not compare or compete with what her friends have. She is young but has very positive thoughts and is older than her age. Her classmates know about her circumstances, and no one teases her, but they love Loan even more. Some friends even lend Loan toys and help her a lot in class.

Hopefully Loan will develop such positive thoughts and behaviors in the future, so that she can study well and find a stable job in the future.
