"Becoming valedictorian of university, I am not too surprised but happy because I have completed the goal I set for myself in 4 years of university. I want to dedicate this award to my parents - who always work hard day and night to take care of my education and make me become a useful person for society," said Nguyen Thi Anh Nguyet.
To achieve this success, few people know that Nguyet was disappointed and blamed herself for failing her first choice and that Hanoi University of Industry was not her original dream.
Since she was a child, Nguyet has been passionate about Math and dreamed of becoming a good accountant when she grows up. In 2019, she scored 23.19 points in block D00 (Math, Literature, English) in the high school graduation exam, nearly 2 points short of being admitted to the University of Commerce as her first choice.

Failing her first choice, Nguyet was quite shocked, blamed herself for not trying hard enough and asked her parents to let her stay home for a year to retake the exam. However, after listening to her family's advice, she agreed to enroll in Hanoi University of Industry. "I never thought that this last choice would be a ticket to university," the female student admitted.
Accepting an environment that was not as expected, Anh Nguyet regained her spirit to catch up with the university lecture hall. In the first semester, she achieved an average score of 3.72/4.0 and received the school's first scholarship of more than 5 million VND.
Receiving the scholarship was like gaining more strength, Nguyet set a bigger goal for herself to become the university valedictorian. "I have cherished this goal since my second year of university but did not dare to tell anyone because I was afraid that "if I say it first, I will not be able to do it", the 10X confided. Nguyet always used that goal as a motivation to strive throughout her 4 years of university.
During class, Nguyet always volunteered to speak enthusiastically, trying to get the highest score possible. During final exams, she always reviewed carefully, ensuring high scores in all subjects.
For students, general subjects such as Political Theory, Marxist-Leninist Thought, Philosophy... are "scary hurdles", but not for Nguyet. She spends twice as much time each day to conquer these subjects. "Every day, before class, I try to read and go online to learn related content, listen attentively to lectures, and interact more actively with lecturers to understand the problems", the new valedictorian revealed her study method.

After passing the general subjects, we come to difficult specialized subjects such as Introduction to Accounting. According to Nguyet, this subject is very difficult, requiring students to memorize the accounting systems according to the State's Circulars and Decrees and practice financial reporting at the end of the course. "I struggled, reporting 10 times and getting it wrong all 10 times," she recalled.
Nguyet admits that she is quite strict in her studies. She also believes that if she misses a day of school, she will have difficulty absorbing knowledge, affecting her goals. During her 4 years at Hanoi University of Industry, the valedictorian only missed one day of school in her first year due to family reasons.
During her studies, she achieved many high achievements such as: Receiving excellent scholarships in 6/8 semesters; achieving the title of excellent student for 3 consecutive years, excellent student in the 2022 - 2023 school year. Nguyet is one of two excellent students of the Faculty of Accounting - Auditing participating in the chief accountant thinking practice course on the ERP VBIS Oracle platform by Auditcare & Partners Vietnam Accounting - Auditing Consulting Company Limited (ACV).

The 22-year-old female student advises her students that to achieve big goals, start with the smallest goals. In addition, always strive to do your best and master the basic knowledge of the field you are studying.
Nguyet is working as an accountant for a foreign company based in Vietnam, with the task of declaring taxes quarterly and annually and making financial reports. She shared that at the end of this year or early next year, she will study for an international certificate related to her profession. If she completes the certificate early, she will continue to study for a master's degree.
Mr. Pham Anh Tuan, homeroom teacher of Nguyen Thi Nguyet (Hanoi University of Industry) assessed that Nguyet is an excellent student, always achieving high academic results. She is always sociable with friends and teachers in class, creating a good impression with everyone.
"I hope she always tries her best at work, applies the knowledge she has learned well into practice and succeeds in all fields," Mr. Tuan hopes.
