In the entrance exam to Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, Nguyen Thi Hoai Thuong was the valedictorian of the Literature class. This achievement is the result of her hard work over the past 4 years.

During the 4 years of studying at Kim Dong High School, with the dedicated guidance of teachers, my passion really had the opportunity to develop.
