The faces of 'good children, good students, beloved grandchildren of Uncle Ho'

Deep love for Uncle Ho

The program "Week of Lifelong Learning" in 2024 organized by the Department of Education and Training in Thanh Chuong district has ended, but its echoes in the hearts of book lovers are still deep. In that program, many people still remember the image of the charming MC boy with the ability to improvise flexibly at the book display and introduction booths.

Few people know that she has a great passion for books and has won first prize.Ambassador of reading culture of Nghe An province2024. I am Nguyen Huu Minh Quang, 8A student, Ton Quang Phiet Secondary School, Thanh Chuong district.

Cherishing the book "Golden Lotus" that he treasures so much, Minh Quang shared that this is the work that has accompanied him throughout his journey of studying and training.

"I love this book not only because of the touching stories about the boy Nguyen Sinh Con - the name of Uncle Ho when he was young, but also because of the profound lessons that I can apply to life. Each page of the book opens before my eyes a story about childhood, about friends, about the hardships that the boy Con experienced. Then, through each story, it evokes in me unforgettable emotions about Uncle Ho's resilience, patriotism and simplicity," Quang shared.

What those who come into contact with Quang clearly feel is the emotional look in his eyes when he shares his knowledge and the pages of books he has read about Uncle Ho. Surely that is also the motivation for him to set up a reading club with members who are book-loving friends in the province. At the same time, Quang has created a learning software to upload useful book files, so that his friends can download and read them.

Among the books I have collected, there are many valuable books about President Ho Chi Minh. Besides, in my role as the school's Youth Union leader, I also organize many book reading programs in extracurricular activities, from here, spreading the love for reading culture and arousing the sincere feelings of generations of students for Uncle Ho.

From his love for books, Quang has expanded his knowledge to achieve many important achievements such as the Gold Prize in the Nghe An Provincial Robotics Competition in 2022; National Bronze Medal in Mathematics at the STEM Olympic Competition - Physics and Youth Magazine in 2023; Second Prize in Youth Informatics of Nghe An Province for the 30th time in 2024; Gold Prize in the VioEdu Mathematics Arena of Nghe An Province in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.

“

Before, I used to think that patriotism only existed in adults and heroes. However, through simple stories about Uncle Ho's childhood, I realized that patriotism can start today, from the most ordinary things.

I started with small things, like doing my homework well, helping my friends and participating in extracurricular activities. Those small actions have contributed to making my life more meaningful and helped me love my homeland more."

Sharing the same pure love for Uncle Ho, Nguyen Tien Loc, a 4H student at Hung Dung 1 Primary School in Vinh City, has also devoted much effort to learning about his simple yet noble life. That passion is deeply expressed through each page of writing, each photo and reportage that he and his friends have painstakingly researched and produced.

Especially in the competition"Uncle Ho in the hearts of Nghe An youth"In 2024, with an excellent work about Uncle Ho's love for folk songs, Loc and his group of authors moved many people with the sincere and delicate feelings they conveyed.

In the work, I skillfully recounted memories of Uncle Ho and the times he listened to folk songs, and the witnesses who had met him to highlight his deep love for his homeland's culture.

Loc shared that through those stories, he not only understood more about Uncle Ho's heart for the nation but also felt his closeness, simplicity and boundless love for people and life. He hopes that he will continue to carry that love to spread, contributing a small part in preserving and promoting the good cultural values ​​of his homeland, becoming a good citizen as Uncle Ho taught years ago.

That love and passion for Uncle Ho helped me win first prize in the contest "Uncle Ho in the hearts of Nghe An youth" in 2024 and spread love for traditional culture to today's young generation.

Spread the spirit of learning

In the simple house that the Civil Servants’ Union has supported to repair since 2018 in Nghi Hung commune, Nghi Loc district, people often see the lamp on the desk of Tran Hoang Phuong Thao (class 4C, Nghi Hung Primary School) lit up every night. Despite her family’s difficult circumstances, Thao never misses the opportunity to study.

To me, that small study corner is where my dreams are nurtured, where I persistently practice each letter and each math operation, despite life's many difficulties.

At her daughter's desk, Ms. Hoang Thi Kim Que (born in 1985) shared that Thao's situation had many losses. Her father died of the terrible lung disease in September 2022 after working at Chau Tien Company Limited. Before that, her father was also severely burned in a boiler explosion at a wood company in 2016. The assets in the house "went away" with the visits to large and small hospitals to treat her father's illness.

Although Ms. Que is working at the Nghe Tinh State Reserve Department, she has many underlying health conditions and has to undergo long-term treatment. All of these things make Thao's small house tremble in the storm.

Understanding the burden on her mother's shoulders, Thao has made efforts to study and for many years has achieved the title of Excellent Student with impressive scores; achieved the title of Vietnamese Champion at the school level and had high achievements in the VioEdu competition at the school she is attending.

I believe that these achievements are a meaningful gift that I give to my mother, a promise to my late father, and a motivation for me to continue to reach my dreams in the future. For me, no matter how difficult the circumstances are, as long as I have willpower and determination, everything can be achieved.

It can be seen that students like Phuong Thao, Minh Quang and Tien Loc, with their eagerness to learn and determination to overcome difficulties, have become a strong source of inspiration for many of their peers. They are typical nuclei among hundreds of students honored by the Provincial Agencies' Youth Union in recent years, through the commendation program "Good children, excellent students, beloved Uncle Ho's children".

With comprehensive development, each child is an outstanding individual who has won high prizes in national and provincial competitions, and strived to win Gold and Silver Medals in competitions of ministries, branches, and aptitude, physical education and sports competitions.

As someone who has accompanied the children for many years, Mr. Nguyen Cong Minh - Secretary of the Provincial Agencies' Youth Union said: "Each of the children's achievements is a testament to the good values ​​that are nurtured and developed in all circumstances. True to the name of the program, love for Uncle Ho is shown through every small action, from studying hard to participating in community activities, all towards the noble ideal that Uncle Ho has nurtured for the young generation of our country"./.
