For example, when she saw in class a student named Kha Thi Linh who was quiet, unsociable, had poor academic performance, and often skipped school. Thuong found out that Linh's family was in difficult circumstances, her house was far from school, and her parents had just divorced, so she was depressed and wanted to drop out of school.
As the class monitor and the team leader, Thao Thuong often took the initiative to be close, comfort, and encourage her. Seeing that Linh lived far from school and had no means of transportation, every day, rain or shine, Thao Thuong went to her boarding house to pick her up for school, and after school, she took her back.
In addition, Thao Thuong, along with the Team Leader and the homeroom teacher, organized fundraising campaigns to help Linh. The money raised was used to pay for Linh's rent and daily living expenses.
Seeing the love of teachers, friends, especially Thao Thuong for her, Linh gave up the idea of dropping out of school and studied more diligently. With her own efforts and Thao Thuong's help, after a short time, Linh's academic performance improved significantly, the clearest proof is that last semester Linh achieved the title of advanced student.

Thao Thuong is also a girl who has many good deeds such as picking up lost items and finding the owner to return them. She said that in September 2022, on her way home from school, she picked up a wallet. Checking the wallet, she found 10 million VND and some documents. Immediately after that, she brought all the found property to the commune police station to ask the police to find the owner and return it. Through the documents in the wallet, the police identified the owner of the above property and notified the person who lost it to come and claim it.
“10 million VND is a large amount of money. To have such a large amount of money, one must have worked very hard, so when I found it, I immediately took the wallet to the police to find the person who lost it,” Le Mai Thao Thuong added.
Ms. Dang Mai Huong (Thao Thuong's mother) said: "As the second child in the family, although she is young, she is quite confident. She sets specific goals for everything she does and is determined to achieve them. She is always self-motivated in her studies and often helps her mother with housework in her free time."

She always completes all assigned tasks thoroughly and always stands up to handle class problems properly when the homeroom teacher is absent.
