'In this race to the finish line, teachers are always with you'

Difficulties will make you stronger.

"Strong, Lucky and Perfect" are the wishes that teachers sent to the 12th grade students, course 21 ofHoang Mai High School.Accompanying the wishes are pictures recording memorable moments of the students during their 3 years at the school.

How can I forget the memorable lessons, the art festivals, the funny stories. I also can't forget the last days of the school year when Hoang Mai became the center of attention when the first Covid-19 case appeared in the province. In one night, the school had F1, F2 cases, the class that was going on normally suddenly had to switch to a new state, studying, reviewing and taking tests online...

The difficulties they have gone through and the training during the outbreak have helped the students have unforgettable experiences and seem to have become stronger. Therefore, in this special time, the teachers also hope that the students will continue to make efforts:Hello little loves! We have been through a special year together, special occasions, special circumstances, now let's take the exam and become special people. As the Greek proverb says: "In the middle of a dry rocky area, wild flowers still grow and bloom beautifully".

This morning, hundreds of K73 candidates ofNguyen Xuan On High Schooland many other schools in Dien Chau district also had to gather 1 day earlier to conduct screening tests.Covid-19- an unprecedented act…

Tomorrow and the day after the exam, many of the candidates may not be able to return home because the area is still under lockdown, and some families are still under quarantine. The difficulties will become even more difficult.

During these days, empathy has helped the teacher-student relationship become even closer: Students have gone through a very special school year with their teachers, full of difficulties but also filled with unforgettable memories.

Never before has a course taken place with so many changes in the teaching and learning plan (sometimes the plan is changed every hour). Never before has the school lacked such exciting and bustling activities with applause and laughter from the students! The Opening Ceremony, on November 20th... also took place quickly and urgently.

More specifically, the students were unable to have their usual end-of-school-year ceremony with many unfulfilled plans. And then their last class was also not announced in advance…

Sending their trust and love, the teachers of Nguyen Xuan On High School also want to send the students “a tight handshake, love and trust”. More importantly, with the tradition of the school, of the land of learning Nghe An, “the teachers believe that you will confidently overcome the gate of heaven to continue reaching out to the ocean, towards the best future of your life”…

Warm messages

One day before the 2021 High School Graduation Exam was held, on the official information pages of schools, many "messages" were sent to students by teachers. This is probably also the most effective means of communication at this time when the epidemic is still very complicated. Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, this school year had to end early. The farewell and maturity ceremonies of the final year students were no longer fully organized like in previous years... There were no balloons, no hugs for the moment of separation, no words of advice...

We will all meet again in the exam hall tomorrow. The pressure of exam season, the pressure on students is real.

Sharing the difficulties of the candidates, the words of encouragement from teachers have given them more strength to be more confident in the upcoming exam days. For teachers of Ha Huy Tap High School, this school year the students have suffered many disadvantages. But the teachers also believe that "online lessons and tests, times of facing isolation and lockdown help students to train themselves".

Vinh City these days has also been the epicenter of the epidemic, so difficult that "a little break to breathe fresh air, relax under the green shade of the street is also impossible". However, before the important exam, teachers "still believe that you will move forward because the graduation exam, the national exam, the exam to mark a level of cognitive maturity, the exam that creates a turning point in many people's lives, you will certainly succeed".

During the past exam season, the students of the Provincial Ethnic Minority High School also experienced unforgettable moments when the exam school was located close to the blockade area. The longing for their father, mother, and village had to be wrapped up in their hearts as they entered the most important exam of their lives.

This is also one of the few exam sites where 100% of candidates take the exam to get the results for university admission. The dream of going to school is also the dream of a change, of rising up to overcome the difficulties of life.

Writing about the children, the school's Board of Directors had many loving words: "So our 3-year journey is only 3 days away from the destination. There are only 3 days left to close all the dreams, ambitions, efforts, and hardships of a passionate student life. Looking back at the journey we have traveled with you, it has been a journey full of effort. You are children who are growing up, but had to leave your parents' arms early. Your lives are hundreds of kilometers away from your parents... During the exam days, while your friends are taken care of by their parents every bit, encouraged every minute, every day, you are without your parents by your side"...

The love makes the relationship between teachers and students in this special school even closer. More importantly, the teachers want the students to feel and “see the shadow and image of their parents in the teachers”. Moreover, to make the children understand that “in this race to the finish line, you are not alone. Teachers are always there, behind to watch, encourage and support you”…

Tomorrow, the first ever Graduation Exam in history has begun: Nghe An is still hot, the epidemic is still raging… In this important race, the candidates should be warriors, be “carps transforming into dragons, passing the dragon gate spectacularly”. And teachers and families will look forward to an impressive “gratitude ceremony”, “performance reporting ceremony” for the day of victory, the day of triumph./.
