Miraculous learning stories of female students

Nguyen Thi Xuan Canh’s family lives in Trung village, Dien Lam commune, Dien Khanh district (Khanh Hoa province). There, her hard-working mother Do Thi Son (64 years old) earns a living by selling bananas. Canh has a mentally ill younger brother, and her father passed away from a serious illness last July.
Having graduated from high school in 2013 and failed the university entrance exam, the girl studied and passed the University of Natural Sciences (Ho Chi Minh City National University) the following year. But after only one year of studying, Canh decided to quit and return to her hometown to tutor secondary school students to help her mother raise her younger siblings.
Canh's journey to pursue knowledge restarted in 2017 when she was admitted to the Mathematics Education Department of Khanh Hoa University. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but Canh suffered from depression and dropped out of school. And this time, the 29-year-old girl has just become a new student of the Mathematics Department of Da Lat University with her 18-year-old friends.
Another new student, Nguyen Thi Lai (University of Natural Sciences, Ho Chi Minh City National University) said that the greatest motivation for her to study is the love of teachers, friends and benefactors who help her. Lai said she wants to return after graduation to work and contribute to her hometown because "only studying can help me overcome adversity and move towards good things".
Knowing that she was awarded the scholarship "Tiep suc den truong" (Supporting students to school) , Lai said she was really happy because it would help her life as a new student. It also helped Lai and her two sisters, who are both students at the University of Natural Sciences, feel less lonely, even though they are orphans.
Many times my studies were interrupted because of life's difficulties, but I still wanted to continue with my dream. I hope to become a math teacher, strong enough to help students with difficult circumstances like me.

At the ceremony, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Tuoi Tre Newspaper Nguyen Hoang Nguyen reaffirmed that the Tiep Suc Den Truong scholarship, by spreading beautiful images and stories to everyone, has conveyed a positive message. That is also the way this program has been maintained over the years.
Journalist Nguyen Hoang Nguyen said that "Tiep suc den truong" is not charity but is the recognition of philanthropists and the community for the determination of new students. It is the connection between noble hearts and students that Tuoi Tre newspaper respectfully connects those hearts and companionship to create motivation and inspiration to help spread stories and situations that need support.
“Stories and images like these have inspired us journalists to connect and spread the word to help new students overcome their circumstances. Although the scholarship is not much, it will be a foundation to create momentum for them to firmly step forward on the path ahead,” said Mr. Nguyen.
