The determination to overcome difficulties of an orphaned female student with the highest C block exam score in Nghia Dan district
(Baonghean.vn) - In the recent National High School Exam, Vo Thi Thuy, class 12C1, Co Do High School, Nghia Dan district, excellently won 25.5 points in block C. Of which, the Geography subject achieved 9.75 points, becoming 1 of 4 candidates with the highest Geography score in the 2018 National High School Exam of the province and the candidate with the highest score in block C of Nghia Dan.
The female student with the highest score in block C in Nghia Dan has a rather special situation. She lost her father when she was young, so her mother and three children live with her grandparents. Her mother works at the TH Milk Factory and doesn't have much time for her family, so Thuy takes care of everything in the house, from taking care of her elderly and sick grandparents to cooking and gardening. Despite the hardship, she has never neglected her studies.

Vo Thi Thuy's university entrance exam result of 25.5 points, including 9 points in Literature, 9.75 in Geography and 6.75 in History, did not surprise her friends and teachers because over the past 12 years of studying, she has always been an excellent student.
Ms. Duong Thi Thao - Teacher of Co Do High School commented: Thuy is a diligent student, with a sense of self-improvement. In addition to studying well in all subjects, she is also an exemplary, enthusiastic and very responsible class monitor. She is always the one who unites the members of the class to create a united collective, working together in studying.

When asked about the secret to studying and getting good results in exams, Thuy said that she does not have any special secret. "Because I am in block C, I mainly study by myself, following my own method. My study time is clearly divided, each session spends about 2 hours reading documents. In addition, I often watch the news to be able to apply practical knowledge to my social argumentative essays."
According to Thuy, social subjects should not be learned by rote rigidly. Especially when taking multiple choice tests, equipping yourself with broad knowledge, deep understanding and associative thinking is essential to achieving the desired score.

Talking about her plans for the future, Vo Thi Thuy said: I have had a dream since I was little, which is to grow up and travel here and there, to explore and experience the culture and history of the land and people of Vietnam, as well as the world. To make that wish come true, I have registered for admission to the Tourism and Travel Services Management major - Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
Although the road ahead is still full of hardships, I believe that with determination and the spirit of overcoming difficulties, this will not be difficult for the poor but excellent student Vo Thi Thuy.
