So, for your information, to get into that university, you had to get a score of around 29 out of 30 in the entrance university exam which was obviously impossible for me because I was super bad at Maths. And when we got the news, my mom was the happiest and she was like, ‘Hurray! Now you are able to get into Security Academy.’ I still remember my mom, she had to borrow money so that she could have enough 23 million Vietnam Dong for me to pay my tuition fee, when I was the candidate in the National Excellent Student Contest, the subject of English which was pretty expensive back then.Īnd then I passed the contest, which meant that I got direct offers from several universities within the country.

I still remember my parents, they had to get up every day, work very hard to make sure that I still got a decent life and a good education, regardless. In my sophomore year of high school, when both of my sisters both got married, my family got a big debt. My oldest sister is a lecturer, and my second sister is working for the public sector, and their paths are exactly the same as my parents expected –finishing college, getting married at the age of 24, having a job, and then having kids.Īnd my parents expected me to have the same path. So, I am the last born in my family that follows and honors traditional values.
