A new chapter of my life opened when I returned to study in Hanoi at the age of 14. I received admission to one of the best schools in Vietnam. Unfortunately, I contracted a refractory disease, which cost me a five-year rigorous treatment in different hospitals from North to South afterwards. Financial difficulties piled up when my father’s health deteriorated and he had to undergo six operations. However, the "snake-in-bag" attitude urged me to make continuous endeavors. By spending many hours studying hard even on the hospital’s bed or when doing part-time work, I continued to excel as the best student of the school.
My efforts paid off. In 2003, I was one of the top-five in the national entrance exam to university. Articles about me were published in more than ten newspapers and on the internet. Since then, I have received thousands of letters from people of different ages from many provinces in Vietnam and abroad. I felt deeply touched when some people even shared with me their sad stories and said that I had instilled courage and ambition in them. The fact that I have become some people’s inspiration in their hard lives, in turn, has encouraged me to try harder to live up to their expectations.
Now, I am looking forward to a future filled with hopes and promises. Undergoing many adversities since my childhood, I fully understand the meaning of POVERTY. For my own life, I will try to eradicate my family’s poverty and make up for all the hardships they have endured. I want to dig into the realm of business to unlock the economic principles, which once made my father fail and put us into poverty. I am dedicated to bringing a better life to my people, especially those who are now suffering from abject poverty like me. In the long run, with deep knowledge of business and commerce, I wish to contribute to the development of my country.
