Valedictorian of 9th grade Chemistry shares self-study tips
(Baonghean.vn) - Nguyen Nhat Minh, a 9B student at Cao Xuan Huy Secondary School, has become the pride of his family and the Dien Chau Education sector when he was one of the three valedictorians in Chemistry in the recent 9th grade excellent student selection exam.
For Nguyen Nhat Minh, self-study spirit is one of the very important factors to conquer knowledge besides knowledge imparted from teachers.
Since childhood, Nhat Minh has shown intelligence and a love of learning. For 8 consecutive years, he has been an excellent student. In particular, when he started learning Chemistry in 8th grade, Minh became passionate about this subject because it helped him explain many phenomena and events that occur in daily life.
Teachers and friends' impression of Minh is his ability to self-study, always setting clear goals and directions for himself. Besides, Minh is also loved for his modesty, affection and sociability.
Regarding the secret to learning, Minh said: “Self-study is one of the very important factors to conquer knowledge. The knowledge that teachers teach in class is very important. Therefore, in class, I always try to understand the knowledge that teachers impart. If I don’t understand something, I study by myself and research more related knowledge to understand it more clearly and deeply.”
Minh Chau commune is located nearly 10 km from the school, but Minh has never been late for school. His father is a soldier who is often away from home, his mother works at the Charity Fund, so she has little time to take care of Minh's studies, but thanks to his self-study spirit, he has always been proactive in completing his studies without his parents having to remind him.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Quynh - Minh's mother said: "The family always encourages their child to study, creates conditions for the child to have good reference materials; does not encourage the child to study by cramming, but to study according to his passion and interests. The family always creates a comfortable mentality, without constraint or pressure, so we see that the child's study becomes more and more effective."
With such guidance from his parents, Minh arranges his study time reasonably. In the evening, he studies from 7pm to 11pm. In the morning, he wakes up at 5am to memorize and study the lesson for that day. In the remaining time, he rests, reads books and participates in sports activities.
With his own efforts, encouragement from family, friends, and teachers, Minh has achieved many academic achievements. Accordingly, his Chemistry final score is 9.9 - 10 points and he is an excellent student in the following subjects: Math, Physics, Chemistry, English, Literature. In addition, he has also won many awards in competitions such as TIMO Math, Online English Olympiad, etc.
In studying, Nhat Minh always tries to think hard to find his own way, not following the pre-planned solutions. With a special passion for Chemistry, he is determined to pass the entrance exam to the specialized Chemistry class of Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted.
Commenting on his student, teacher Dang Xuan Long said: “In the school’s Chemistry competition team, there are 8 students, all of whom won prizes. In addition to the valedictorian, the team also has 3 students who won second prizes, 2 students who won third prizes and 2 students who won encouragement prizes. Minh’s results are the pride of class 9B as well as the school. He is an intelligent, passionate and creative student. As a student who comes from far away to study at school, Minh has to work much harder than other students, but he always tries to overcome all difficulties. He applies the knowledge he has learned to explain natural phenomena in a very systematic way. He stands out for his high spirit of self-study, diligence, and knowing how to share and help friends to progress together. His achievements are the motivation to contribute to spreading the spirit of trying to study to generations of students of the school in the following years.”
In the 2023-2024 provincial excellent student competition for grade 9 of secondary school in Dien Chau district, 94 students participated in 10 subjects and 76 students won prizes in all subjects.
