High-scoring candidates may have to give up their college dreams because they are too poor.

(Baonghean.vn) - That is the case of Bui Thi Duyen, a 12th grade student at Dang Thuc Hua High School (Thanh Chuong).got 27 points in the recent high school exam.

To get to Bui Thi Duyen's house (Kim Thanh village - Vo Liet), if you go on National Highway 46, when passing Bach Ma Temple, you have to turn onto a small road that was a long-abandoned road for transporting wood and firewood by the Forestry Department.

Ms. Phan Thi Huyen (born in 1974) - Duyen's mother said: She married Mr. Bui Tien Dung in 1993, both sides were poor, and they had difficult births, and could not raise the first 3 children, so life was very difficult. Duyen is the 4th child, now the first child, her health is not good but she is very studious.From grade 1 to grade 12, he was an excellent student.

The day she was selected to enter class A of the high school, her parents were both happy and worried. They were afraid that they would not be able to support her and decided not to let her attend school, but thanks to the attention of the school and the homeroom teacher, they dared to let their child go to school. However, during her studies, Duyen was always a diligent and good student.

Teacher Pham Kim Chung - Head teacher commented: "Duyen is an excellent student in all aspects. During her time at school, she won second prize in Biology in the provincial excellent student competition. In the National High School Exam, she scored 27 points (Math 9, Chemistry 9, Biology 9) and is planning to study at Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics".

Joy has come to her and her family, but now her family is facing a worry: "We don't know how to raise our children to go to university when the whole family only has 2 fields and a few empty fields, and the family has nothing worth a few hundred thousand dong" - Phan Thi Huyen, Duyen's mother said.

Every day, the father goes to the forest, the mother carries loads of firewood to the market to earn a living. Besides Duyen, there is a younger brother who is in 6th grade this year and is also a very good student, and a 3-year-old sister.

While her friends were eagerly choosing schools and classes, preparing to enter school, Duyen was still working hard with her mother to chop wood to earn a living.

"Maybe I have to quit. How can I support my grandchild to go to university now?" - Ms. Phan Thi Huyen choked up./.
