Meet the valedictorian of grade 10 in Yen Thanh rice district

(Baonghean.vn) - These days, the small, spacious house of Nguyen Phan Thuy Tien's family in block 2, Yen Thanh town is always bustling with teachers and friends coming to share their joy when they learned that she became valedictorian in the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2016-2017 school year and was admitted to Phan Boi Chau specialized school.

The joy of Thuy Tien's parents with their daughter's academic achievements.

Mr. Nguyen Vu and Ms. Phan Thi Quy - Thuy Tien's parents said: "Thuy Tien is very studious and has a high level of self-discipline, so her parents don't have to remind her much. She also doesn't ask her parents to buy many books, but mainly goes online to find advanced math problems to solve, and then learns English. Her family also bought a computer with internet connection for her to study. When she leaves school, after school hours, she also helps her parents with many household chores such as cooking, sweeping, mopping the floor..."

Although she knew she had a high score and was the valedictorian, Thuy Tien was still diligent in her studies during this time, whether it was solving difficult math problems, going online to listen to English readings, or reading useful books about life and about examples of people who overcame difficulties to study well. It was her self-awareness and eagerness to learn that brought pride to her family and added to the achievements of Bach Lieu Secondary School.

Even though she knew she was valedictorian and had passed the provincial specialized school entrance exam, Nguyen Phan Thuy Tien was still passionate about difficult math problems.

Mr. Le Van Tuan - Math teacher, Bach Lieu Secondary School shared: "Thuy Tien is a very hard-working, well-behaved student, good at studying and studying all subjects, very enthusiastic in speaking and building lessons in class. In Math, she has the ability to be creative, has a good mathematical thinking and presentation skills, whenever she has any problems, she directly asks the teachers or calls them so I am not surprised that she is one of 11 students in Nghe An province to get a score of 10 in Math".

Sharing about her study secrets, Thuy Tien said: “I don’t have any special secret to studying, I just know how to make an effort to study and try to study all subjects equally. For the subjects I like more, such as Math and English, I spend a little more time. Because Math is a subject that requires a lot of concentration and logical thinking, I often solve a lot of Math in the morning or evening. For English, I self-study new words, sentence structures and access educational networks to help me listen and read correctly, find Math and English questions to improve. As for other subjects, I focus on listening to the teachers in class, if I don’t understand or have questions, I ask the teachers right away…”
