During the short 1-week break between 2 school years, Ha returned to her hometown and learned about the “Beauty of the coastal city” contest from information on the Internet. Ha’s childhood dream was to become a professional model and photo model, so she “dared” to register to participate. After registering, Ha intended to withdraw, but received support and encouragement from the Tan Son commune and Do Luong district youth unions, so she boldly entered the audition.
