(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 the 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, then learns English. Her family also bought her a computer with internet connection for her to study. When she left school, she also helped 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 diligently studying, solving difficult math problems, listening to English online, or reading useful books about life and about examples of overcoming 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.

Although she knew she was the valedictorian and was admitted to the province's specialized school, 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, obedient, good student and studies all subjects very well. In class, she is very enthusiastic about speaking up and building lessons. 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 too 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 teacher in class, if I don’t understand or have questions, I ask the teacher right away…”
