Raising a paralyzed mother, twin sisters still pass university entrance exams

(Baonghean.vn) -Mother is paralyzed on one side, only using father's small pension to support the whole family, but twin sisters Nguyen Thi Binh and Nguyen Tho Hiep (in block I of Yen Thanh town, students of Phan Dang Luu High School, both passed the university entrance exam. (Nguyen Thi Binh alone passed with 25.5 points in block C of Hanoi Law University) is the candidate with the highest score in block C of Yen Thanh district.

We went to Binh's house on a sunny afternoon. Binh and his younger brother were taking care of their mother and pouring medicine for her to take. Binh shared: Because they loved their parents, both of them tried hard to study and were determined to pass the university entrance exam to repay their parents' kindness.

Nguyen Thi Binh and mother

Binh's mother, Mrs. Phan Thi Bay (born in 1962), suddenly suffered a stroke in 2004 and became paralyzed on one side of her body. Since then, her father, Nguyen Hao (born in 1948, retired teacher), has been the breadwinner for the family. Life is full of difficulties, there are times when it seems impossible to overcome. But Mr. Hao still encourages his children to study hard, no matter how hard it is, he can overcome it to support his sick wife and school-age children. Feeling sorry for their parents, after school, the two twin sisters rush to help with the housework, one cooks, bathes, and gives medicine to their mother, the other sweeps the floor and feeds the pigs. When they were in 12th grade, although their parents encouraged them to take extra classes to prepare for the university entrance exam, seeing the difficult circumstances, both sisters studied at home. Binh confided: I focused on every hour of teaching in class and then spent time reading books and documents at home. For self-study for the C block exam, I have made a study schedule that is to study according to the ideas and according to the system. Binh added that the top student of the C block at the University of Law this year scored 26 points. Although only half a point short of the top student position, given Binh's circumstances, it is already admirable. Nguyen Tho Hiep's younger brother passed the entrance exam to Hanoi University of Science and Technology with a fairly high score of 26 points.

Both twins told us that they would try their best to study well to win scholarships to help their parents.
