“After the exam, I also scored the same as this result, but when the results were announced, I still felt extremely happy and excited. This is not only my own result but also the result of the dedicated teaching of the teachers and the encouragement and support of my family.”
Nhat Mai is a 12A4 student at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted. She is considered by her teachers to be an intelligent, hard-working and obedient student. Mai is always willing to help her friends and is loved by everyone.
During 12 years of school, Nhat Mai was an excellent student in all aspects. In grade 9, she won second prize in the provincial excellent student competition in Chemistry; in grade 11, she won first prize in the provincial excellent student competition in Chemistry.

“Nguyen Thi Nhat Mai is a well-behaved, hard-working and intelligent student, with a spirit of overcoming difficulties, good academic performance and filial piety. In the 2019 National High School Exam, she achieved high scores, contributing to the achievements and pride of the class and the school.”
Nhat Mai studies all subjects equally, but her forte is block A subjects. Mai said that at first she planned to apply for economics, but her mother's sinusitis made her decide to switch to block B subjects.

“Every time I come home, I see my mother often having trouble sleeping because of difficulty breathing, a symptom caused by chronic sinusitis, especially on windy and changeable days. I feel so sorry for her. From then on, I decided to study well in the B group to take the medical entrance exam, and later treat my mother and everyone else,” Nhat Mai confided.
Of the three subjects of the B block, Nhat Mai is always confident with Math and Chemistry, because she has a foundation and has focused on learning knowledge and skills since entering grade 10. As for Biology, Mai said she only focused on studying about 3 months before the exam, meaning that only when the exam was "right around the corner" did she spend time "filling in the gaps" in knowledge for this subject.

Sharing her study secrets, Nhat Mai said: “I only study at school, the rest of the time I study at home, I do not attend exam preparation classes outside. In class, I try to concentrate on listening to the teachers to absorb knowledge, if I do not understand something, I stand up and ask for permission to discuss, so that the knowledge will always be deeply engraved.”
During her time at home, Nhat Mai consults documents borrowed from friends and teachers and learns more on the Internet. Before each reference test, Mai always visualizes what problems need to be solved first, and what problems need to be solved later to achieve optimal efficiency. Thanks to that, every time she enters the exam room, she is always confident and ready.
Nguyen Thi Nhat Mai's first wish is to apply to Hanoi Medical University. Thus, her dream of becoming a good doctor to treat her mother and everyone else is within reach and gradually becoming a reality.
“I know that this is just the initial result, there is still a long way ahead with many challenges, requiring effort to overcome. To reach my dream, I will continue to strive in studying, practicing and learning about communication skills, life skills, and gradually improving myself.”
