Mom is always proud of Tran Anh Hieu's academic results. |
The hardships and difficulties of his mother and the sacrifices of his brother made Hieu always try hard in his studies. He was loved and respected by his teachers and friends for his love of learning, sociability, and especially his efforts in studying. Entering high school, Hieu decided to study natural sciences: Math-Physics-Chemistry. Especially loving Math, Hieu always found joy in solving difficult Math problems. For him, the comprehensiveness and science of Math is always attractive, attracting him to find the best solution. Therefore, the result of winning second prize in the provincial excellent student competition in grade 11 was not a surprising achievement for him as well as his teachers.

Tran Anh Hieu achieved many achievements in his studies. |
“From the moment I entered 10th grade, I recognized Hieu’s ability. Although he is intelligent and doesn’t study as much as his friends, the way he does his homework and presents it is very scientific, always choosing the fastest and easiest way to solve it. Learning Math carefully and not rushing when solving difficult Math problems is what makes Hieu score high on exams. For Hieu, it is about gradually acquiring knowledge, not rushing, learning each part and mastering it.”
Bold decision
Determined to follow the Natural Science block of Math-Physics-Chemistry, but when entering the second semester of grade 12, Hieu realized that his ability to absorb and solve exam questions in English always gave him higher results than Chemistry.
The decision to change blocks made my mother uneasy and worried because there was not much time left, while the exam was approaching. 6 months was really a challenge, "I will try my best and not let you and my brother down", I promised my mother when I decided to change from block A to block A1.

Exploring computers has been Tran Anh Hieu's passion since childhood. |
“The attention in class as well as the support from my homeroom teacher after I decided to change classes always encouraged me in my studies. At any time, whenever I asked, she would answer and spend time with me. Although my test results were not high, her encouragement and trust in me kept me from getting discouraged and giving up.”
Always sociable, energetic, enthusiastic and never missing any of the class's activities, Hieu is a member of the dance group, the art group, and also the main player in the class's soccer team. Enthusiastic in activities, Hieu is also always conscious in studying, strictly following the schedule that he has outlined.

The efforts and attempts of the fatherless student have achieved proud achievements. But perhaps the decision to change majors was not as difficult as Hieu's choice of school.
“As soon as I entered high school, due to my family circumstances, I always planned to take the exam to become a police officer to help my mother and brother. Tuition fees as well as future jobs. But the closer the exam got, the more I found myself loving and exploring computers. With the support of my mother and brother, I decided to choose Computer Science - Hanoi University of Science and Technology.”

Despite his high results, he did not allow himself to rest. The day after the exam, Hieu continued to study English on his own with the hope of not being inferior to his friends when he went to the capital to study. Although he knew that there were still many difficulties, his determination and desire to rise up in life, especially to fulfill his passion of becoming a computer engineer, would be the motivation for Tran Anh Hieu to firmly step forward and succeed on the road ahead.
