Biology valedictorian shares his dream of becoming a doctor

Small, agile figure, cheerful face, easy to share are what everyone feels when contacting Ho Quy Nhan.

Nhan is the oldest of three siblings. His father is often away from home because he works in Laos. His mother is a worker for an incense factory, so in the family, Nhan is the one who takes care of his younger siblings.

With the dream of becoming a doctor and wanting to fulfill his wish of taking care of his family's health, Nhan clearly defined his target exam group, major and university for the future since grade 9. And also in grade 9, Nhan won second prize in the provincial excellent student category of Biology.

Talk aboutsecret to good studyBiology, Nhan thinks that in fact Biology is a difficult subject, requiring a solid understanding of natural sciences to study well. However, with any subject, to study well, one must first have passion and love.

Nhan shared: Although I had predicted the score, when I officially got the exam result with a score of 18.13, I was very happy and had emotions that cannot be fully expressed in words. I also regretted a little because I was subjective and made some mistakes in some easy questions. I would have gotten a higher score if I had been more careful when taking the exam. This is a lesson for me to learn from in the upcoming exams.

Not only is Nhan good at Biology, but his academic achievements are also very impressive. From grade 1 to grade 11, Nhan has always been an excellent student. In grade 10 and grade 11, his average GPA is always above 9 points. In the three subjects Math, Chemistry, and Biology, his GPA is always between 9.9 and 10 points.

According to Nhan, the secret is to promote self-study, study according to interests and needs to help him have more inspiration and motivation. At home, he carefully reviews the knowledge he has learned. Along with that, he researches and reads more books, practices many types of reference exercises online to find the best and most effective way to solve, thereby accumulating knowledge in a solid way.

In addition to studying as a class monitor, Nhan also actively participates in activities, creating a common movement for the class. Photo: Mai Giang

Nhan shared more: "Each subject has its own unique features and appeal to students. For me, Chemistry and Biology are very interesting, because their knowledge helps explain many phenomena and problems in life and especially helps me broaden my understanding. I can also practice the knowledge I have learned to witness the magic of Chemistry and Biology. And thanks to my interest in these two subjects, I study well and achieve high results in exams.

Homeroom teacher Ngo Thi Thanh Mai could not hide her excitement, confiding: “I am not surprised with the result of being the valedictorian of Biology in this year's Provincial Excellent Student Competition that Nhan has achieved, because that result is worthy of his efforts to overcome difficulties and tireless efforts. I am impressed that Nhan is a good student, self-conscious in studying and researching documents. During the learning process, every time he makes mistakes, when pointed out by the teacher, Nhan always corrects himself and never repeats the same mistakes in the way he does his homework.”

As a deputy class monitor, Nhan is willing to share, create a learning movement, and help his classmates improve together. Cao Tien Nguyen, Nhan's friend, shared: With Nhan's example of overcoming difficulties in studying, he has inspired his classmates. With his sociability, confidence, passion, and clear learning goals, Nhan is highly appreciated by teachers and friends.

Nhan shared: “Achieving a goal always requires a long process of effort and perseverance. My goal of entering General Medicine is the same. It is a long journey that I have to overcome. The achievements I have achieved today are the motivation for me to achieve my dream”./.
