Bich Yen is the third child in a particularly poor family in Chau Loc commune, Quy Hop district. Her father passed away when she was only 4 years old, leaving her mother to work as a hired hand to raise her four children. However, Sam Thi Bich Yen has always tried her best to study, overcoming all difficulties of her family and herself to become an excellent student for many years in a row and achieving high academic achievements. In the 2018-2019 school year, Yen won second prize in Literature and second prize in the District-level Scientific Research Competition.

Student Sam Thi Bich Yen was honored to represent children across the country to report her achievements in front of the Uncle Ho and Children Monument (Ho Chi Minh City Children's House).

Sharing about her future dream, Yen said: “I live in a difficult mountainous area, many children do not have the conditions to study. Therefore, I wish to become a good teacher in the future to bring knowledge to children in the same situation as me, to overcome all circumstances to excel in their studies.”
