Meet the female student from Nghe An - the national valedictorian in Literature

Born into a farming family in Minh Thuan hamlet, Giang Son Tay mountainous commune, Do Luong district, Hang has been a studious girl since childhood. At all levels of education, Hang has always been a student with impressive achievements and is admired by many friends and teachers for her intelligence and diligence. In addition to the subjects she loves such as Math and Literature, Hang is especially fond of chess. When she was in 4th grade, Hang participated in a chess competition organized by the district and won an Encouragement Prize.

Studying at Giang Son Secondary School, from grade 7 to grade 9, Hang was always an excellent student in the district in Literature. In grade 7, not only did she win third prize in Literature at the district level, but she also won third prize in Physics at the district level. Literature once again brought glory to her and her family when in grade 11, Hang once again won third prize in the province-wide excellent student competition.

In the recent National High School Exam, Hang scored 9.75 points in Literature, one of three students in the country to score 9.75 points.

Hang said she "took root" in Literature since 7th grade. "Studying Literature, I found myself in it, learned many lessons, and from there, created interest in other subjects. When reading literary works, I feel that literature has a magical power. Literature can influence people, teach people how to live more humanely," Hang said.

At the 2018 National High School Exam, in the Literature topic on social argumentation with the topic "Awakening the country's potential", Hang completed her exam very excellently. She wrote: "Our country has awakened many potentials to build a rich and strong country. However, besides that, there are some potentials that have not been awakened and are still sleeping. My point of view is not to equate awakening potentials with awakening the country's potentials and over-exploiting the inherent potentials. That awakening must be appropriate to the country's circumstances and the circumstances of society."

Commenting on Hang, Ms. Dao Thi Kim Dung, Literature teacher of class 12B3, said: “Hang is a good and individualistic girl. For Hang, studying is a passion. She is never satisfied with herself. This result is worthy of Hang’s hard work and efforts. We are proud of her.”

Hang was born into a poor farming family, her father was a construction worker, her mother was a farmer. To be able to raise Hang to study until today, her parents had to work extremely hard, there were years when they had to borrow money to cover the cost of their children's education. Understanding the hardships of her parents, she always wanted to overcome her circumstances to get the best academic results, worthy of her parents' sacrifice.

This year, Hang took the entrance exam to Ho Chi Minh City University of Law with impressive results. Today, July 12, she will go to Ho Chi Minh City to take the capacity assessment test of Ho Chi Minh City University of Law.
