Poor student won national prize for 2 consecutive years

(Baonghean) -At the national excellent student exam for the 2012-2013 school year, Nguyen Thi Hao, a 12th grade student at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, won second prize in history. This is the second time she has won a high prize in the national excellent student exam.

Nguyen Thi Hao is the fourth daughter in a poor family in hamlet 3, Nam Xuan commune - Nam Dan. Her father is a 2/4 war invalid, her mother is in poor health, sick now and then, her two older sisters are married, as the youngest daughter, Hao has to help her mother with all the housework and in the fields. Although her family situation is extremely difficult, she is not discouraged, Hao always tells herself to strive to study hard to have a brighter future.

With that wish, from primary school to secondary school, Hao has been an excellent student in the district and province for many years. In particular, he loves History. When he was in high school, he decided to take the entrance exam to Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted and was admitted with a fairly high score. Studying in a favorable environment, his achievements have improved day by day. At the national excellent student exam in the 2011-2012 school year, he won third prize in History and his joy was multiplied when at the national excellent student exam in the 2012-2013 school year, he excellently won second prize in History.

Nguyen Thi Hao - 2 times won high prizes in national exams.

Hao confided: “I really love History, because as Uncle Ho once said: Our people must know our history, to understand the origin of Vietnam. Studying at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, I was taught enthusiastically by my teachers. Studying History, I understood many things about the history of building and defending the country of our ancestors as well as the great sacrifices of previous generations. From there, it urged me to learn and research more, not only for my studies, but also to strive to improve myself.”

With the achievements achieved through 2 national excellent student exams, Hao was specially admitted directly to Hanoi Pedagogical University 1. To test himself, he registered for the entrance exam to the University of Law and was not surprised when he passed with a fairly high score of 25.5. But with the dream of becoming a teacher, he decided to choose Pedagogical University 1 to continue the path he had chosen. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hau - Hao's mother said: "The family is poor, the whole family depends on a few fields, so it will be difficult to raise children to go to university, but no matter how difficult it is, we must try to save money, work and produce so that our children can study well and have a stable job in the future, that is the dream of the whole family".

With her efforts to overcome difficulties and admirable achievements, Nguyen Thi Hao has added to the list of traditional students in the Nam Xuan countryside, which is still facing many difficulties. This is the foundation for Hao's dream and ambition to become a History teacher, passing on her knowledge and understanding to generations of students so that "our history" will forever remain in the hearts of "our people" as Uncle Ho wished.
