Young Party member shares secret to passing Military Medical Academy entrance exam

Born into a farming family in Nghi Cong Nam commune (Nghi Loc) - a very poor area but with a tradition of studiousness. She is the eldest child, with two younger siblings. Her father often works far away, so in addition to studying, Thanh also has to help her mother with other household chores.

In grade 9, Thanh won first prize in Biology. In grade 11, in the Provincial Excellent Student Competition, she won second prize in Chemistry.

Thanh is a good and hard-working student. My house used to be near hers so I know her family's situation very well. Her parents are both farmers and work very hard. She is the oldest sister in the family and is loved by the neighbors.

Teacher Nguyen Giao Ngoc - Math teacher is also the homeroom teacher of Nguyen Thi Thanh in grades 10 and 11.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa Cuc - Thanh's homeroom teacher in her final year and also the person who directly trained the student to win second prize in Chemistry added: "Thanh is a gentle person, quite introverted, very modest and often helps friends in their studies."

Surprisingly, in addition to the subjects in group B, Thanh's scores in the remaining subjects were also excellent, including 8.0 in Literature. It is surprising because nowadays, the situation of students studying in an unbalanced way is quite common. Many students are valedictorians in the provinces but their scores in subjects that are not used for university admission are very low, some students are even close to failing.

Asked about this issue, Thanh shared: I think each subject has its own role, the important thing is that we have to "love" it so that when studying it will be interesting. For example, Literature is really interesting, because studying Literature is not binding and there is no single answer, each person can express their own point of view... Literature will "fill" each person's soul more. It helps us to be more mature in all aspects of life.

Class 12A1, Nghi Loc 2 High School.

I often follow the instructions of teachers in class because I think that is a valuable experience that teachers have had to learn over many years. Besides, I also often exchange knowledge with friends because my class has many students who are good at block B and ask seniors about learning methods. After studying in class and taking extra classes, I often summarize my mistakes at home and find ways to fix them. Accumulating and practicing a lot is my learning motto.

Nguyen Thi Thanh shares the secret to studying block B

When asked why he chose block B, he confided: At first, he liked studying block A more. But in grade 9, his Biology teacher chose him to be on the Biology team and from there he inspired him to love Biology more and finally he decided to switch to block B. His dream is to become a doctor in the army and improve his English through online courses.

With excellent academic results and enthusiastic participation in Youth Union and Young Pioneer activities, Thanh and four other excellent students of Nghi Loc 2 High School were honored to be admitted to the Party. That also gave him strength and motivation to continue on the path of education with the "bitter roots but sweet fruits" that he had chosen.

With a serious learning process and determination to overcome difficulties, Thanh deserves to be a shining example for children in the mountainous commune of Nghi Loc district to learn from.
