The surprise of the history valedictorian

The messages...

Luyen is a quiet and shy girl. Therefore, from grade 1 to grade 9 with her "average" academic performance, she was not an outstanding student. The greatest achievement that Luyen has achieved after 9 years of high school is probably the score of 9.25 in Literature, which Luyen won in the 10th grade entrance exam. However, with the 2nd position in the whole school, this result did not create much momentum for Luyen when she entered Dien Chau 3 High School. She also realized that the score of 9.25 could be due to luck, due to hard work, but she herself really did not like and did not have a special attachment to Literature at school.

But, with History, it was different. Luyen started to like studying History since 7th grade. The innocent girl at that time did not fully define why she liked History. However, from the lessons in class, Luyen really liked to read books and learn more, even though at that time there was only one book "Ho Chi Minh Thought" that her cousin lent her...

In grade 9, Luyen was also selected by the district to compete in the provincial excellent student competition. But the first time Luyen competed, it was obvious that she failed because at that time, "she didn't really try hard, she just focused on studying for the high school entrance exam."

Luyen's dedication only came when she was in 10th grade and was selected to compete in the school's excellent student competition and won first prize. Remembering that exam, teacher Bui Thi Hien - the school's History teacher shared: When I graded Luyen's exam, I was really surprised because she had almost completed all the requirements of the exam completely and accurately. That was also the exam I gave the highest score.

After the exam to select excellent students at school, teacher Bui Thi Hien thought of Luyen as "a source for grade 11". However, by chance, in grade 11, teacher Bui Thi Hien was transferred by the school to teach grade 11 again. When she met her previous student again, she was very happy. However, as someone with a rather "strange" teaching style, she did not call Luyen to join the school team right away, but gave Luyen and her friends a chance to choose "as long as they were passionate and truly loved history".
