Tran Quoc Hoan is the son of Mr. Tran Quoc Truong and Mrs. Hoang Thi Ha in Block 6, Tan Ky Town. He was born into a family of self-employed parents. His father used to be a driver with a stable income, but due to an accident that caused an eye injury and diabetes, he could no longer drive. The whole family now relies on the retail grocery store to make a living...

However, difficult family circumstances did not discourage her but made her try harder to realize her dream.

While studying at the Town Primary School, Hoan dreamed of entering Nguyen Trai Secondary School - a key high-quality school in Tan Ky district. His dream came true when he not only passed the entrance exam but also had enough points to enter the selective class. Initially, Hoan studied in the Math team, but when he was exposed to Chemistry knowledge in grade 8, he was discovered, trained, and encouraged by Ms. Nguyen Thi Thai Hien... he switched to the Chemistry team and continuously won high prizes, being the valedictorian in the school and district competitions for gifted students.

When asked: If you could say one thing to Ms. Hien right now, what would you say? I answered: Ms. Hien is like my second mother, she not only teaches me knowledge but is also the person who always listens to my confidences in life, I can only say: Thank you very much.

In addition to his beloved teacher, his love for Chemistry was also fueled by his two cousins, the sons of Hoan's father's sister. They were also excellent Chemistry students at Nguyen Trai Secondary School and were listed on the school's honor roll as excellent provincial Chemistry students.

What is special about this student is that besides the hours in class and extra classes at school, Hoan mainly studies on his own under the guidance of Chemistry teacher Hien. As a student in class A1, Nguyen Trai Secondary School, Tran Quoc Hoan is not only good at Chemistry but also an example of being good at all subjects.

In the past 3 school years, Hoan has always achieved the title of Excellent Student, participated in many activities of the class and school, and was willing to share and help his friends in their studies. Therefore, Hoan has received love from teachers and affection from friends.

With the result of winning the valedictorian prize, Tran Quoc Hoanqualified for direct admission to Vinh University Specialized School.

However, when asked about his future dream, Hoan shared: In the near future, I will try to study hard to take the 10th grade high school entrance exam and will register to take the exam at Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted to test my ability, because I know that if I pass the Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, my parents will not be able to afford for me to return to the city to study. My further dream is to become a doctor to treat people, especially those in difficult circumstances./.
