Tuan said: In the first days of going to school, he had difficulty walking, but his classmates enthusiastically helped and cared for him, making him more confident and quickly integrating with teachers and friends. Compared to his classmates, Tuan is older, because he had to constantly go to treatment when he was young, so he went to school slower than his friends. Moreover, his family's economic conditions were difficult, his father left when he was young; his mother was a farmer, the family's main source of income was only a few acres of rice fields. In addition, they had no house, all three of them had to live with their grandparents. "However, seeing the eyes of the two brothers yearning to go to school, my mother did not mind the hardship, working hard day and night in the fields, traveling everywhere to work for hire to earn money to raise her children to study", Tuan said.

With will and determination, Anh Tuan has become proficient in using computers.

"Aware of our family's difficult circumstances, we are always determined to study hard to not let our mother down and hope for a better future. My mother is also a great motivation for me to achieve high results in my studies" - Anh Tuan confided.

Besides, in addition to studying at school and in class, at home, Anh Tuan studies IT, repairs computers and broken phones to earn more income and gain more knowledge to realize his dream of becoming a good programmer.
