Top student of block A from a rice-growing hometown: 'Want to be trained in a military environment'

(Baonghean.vn) - Bac Yen Thanh High School is located in a disadvantaged area of ​​Yen Thanh district. However, in the 2016 National High School Exam, this was the school with the most outstanding results, with 5 candidates scoring over 27 points. One of them was Phan Ngoc Trong (class 12A1) with a score of 28.05 points. Trong was also in the "top" 50 candidates in block A with the highest scores nationwide.

Currently, Trong is "traveling" in Binh Duong. This is a gift that his brother and sister give to their younger brother after 12 years of studying. Talking to Trong via Facebook, the boy shyly said: I am very happy to get high scores, but I am very shy about being in the newspaper...

Trong and his 12th grade classmates

Trong was born into a family of 5 siblings, living in difficult circumstances, so he was very studious since childhood. Perhaps because of that, when the news that Trong got a high score in Math with 9.25 points, Physics and Chemistry with 9.4 points, the teachers at school were not surprised at all.

Teacher Nguyen Van Ngoan, Principal of Bac Yen Thanh High School, excitedly said: This year, Bac Yen Thanh High School has 5 students who got high scores in the university entrance exam. Among them, Trong is the most outstanding student. Trong's achievements have greatly encouraged students in the whole school because Trong is a poor student, overcoming difficulties, and eager to learn...

Due to his family's financial situation, Trong did not attend extra classes during his high school years and mainly studied on his own. Pitying the strong-willed student, there were many times when the subject teachers had to ask Trong to stay at home and tutor and help him.

As a Physics teacher, teacher Nguyen Van Tho has never forgotten the time when he reviewed for the provincial Physics exam in grade 11. At that time, Trong was just a good student and he did not have much confidence in himself. For more than two months of tutoring Trong at home, in addition to imparting knowledge, the teacher also regularly advised and helped Trong like a younger brother in the family. When he received the news that Trong won third prize in Physics, both teacher and student hugged each other happily. The teacher also shared that: for a teacher, there is no greater joy than seeing a student succeed. As for Trong, this result will be a solid step forward for Trong in the next stage.

Studying well and escaping poverty is also Trong's dream and what motivated him throughout his time at school. However, in addition to being diligent, another quality of Trong that his friends really appreciate is his sharing. When he was still in school, his classmates in class 12A1 called him a strategist because when they encountered any difficult lesson, Trong was always ready to explain it thoroughly to them. Whenever Trong read a good lesson online, he would write it down on the board and the whole class would discuss it.

Class 12 A1 of Trong with 5 candidates achieved test scores above 27 points, 100% achieved scores above the floor with an average score of 24.22 points

Trong was happy because Manh - his neighbor - had an accident 3 months before graduation and thought he would not be able to keep up with the program. But then, after a period of support from Trong and his classmates, Manh got quite high test results, in Physics alone, Manh got nearly 8 points.

Talking about his work, Trong honestly said: It is called helping friends but also helping himself. Through the lectures, he has been able to systematize his knowledge and know where his weaknesses are to overcome. Besides, Trong's secret to studying is "not studying day and night but studying scientifically, studying when studying, playing when playing. The most important thing is to have a firm grasp of the basic knowledge".

Another thing to be very proud of is that all of Trong's 12 A1 class students achieved high results in the National High School Exam, including 2 students with over 28 points, 3 students with over 27 points. The average score of the class is 24, 22 points.

Trong's biggest dream now is to enter Army Officer School 1: I want to be trained in a military environment, to be a soldier like my father in the past.
