Hard childhood
With 29.75 points in block C, To Thi Dieu (residing in village 3, Quang Thai commune, Quang Xuong district, Thanh Hoa), a student at Quang Xuong 4 High School (Quang Xuong district) is one of the top students in block C nationwide.
The top student in the national C block, To Thi Dieu, not only studies well but also cooks and takes care of her younger siblings while her mother goes to work.
Besides the slim, skinny appearance of valedictorian To Thi Dieu, few people know that her childhood was filled with hardship and worry.
After Dieu is her younger sister who is in school age. Dieu's mother alone worries about "food and clothing" every day so that the two sisters can study properly.
"My father passed away when I was in 3rd grade, from then on, my mother took care of my sister and me by herself. She worked many jobs, sometimes working for seafood restaurants in the countryside, sometimes selling fish at the market, she did everything. Every day, my mother usually went to work before I woke up, and didn't come home until 8 or 9 pm. So since 2nd grade, I cooked for myself, and my sister and I had to take care of our own food and study.
I have been passionate about literature since middle school and often read books, especially works by writer Nguyen Nhat Anh. Reading books and literary works helps me have a better vocabulary and learn many humane stories. Reading books also costs a lot of money, so I often read through aap online to save money," Dieu shared.
Dieu's family's small house
Dieu's family is currently near-poor. Aware of her family's situation, this valedictorian has prepared for her upcoming university years in a way that will help her mother have less trouble and less burden of "bread and butter".
"I love my mother, but I only know how to study hard and take care of my younger siblings to help my mother. I chose to study education because tuition is exempted, and I registered to live in a dormitory to save on rent, so my mother would have less trouble," Dieu said.
Multi-talented female valedictorian
Despite difficult circumstances, her father died early, and her family was near-poor, but for the past 12 years of school, Dieu has always been an excellent student. Not only is she a good student, Dieu is also recognized by her friends as a multi-talented person, because she writes beautifully; draws well; dances beautifully... She also won consolation prizes and second prizes in literature in provincial competitions for excellent students during her high school years.
Dieu decided to study pedagogy to avoid paying tuition and to live in a dormitory to save money on rent and to ease the burden of making ends meet for her mother (who is sitting next to Dieu).
Mrs. To Thi Nguyet (50 years old, Dieu's mother) could not hide her joy when her daughter achieved high results in the recent high school graduation exam. She felt that her hard work and worries had paid off, although there were still many difficulties ahead, she was confident that she could provide her daughter with a full education.
“I usually go to work from early morning until late at night, so I have to take care of their studies myself. There are days when I come home late at night, and seeing Dieu diligently reading and studying makes all the hardship disappear. I still overcome the hardship, just worried that she is weak and skinny, and I don't know what it will be like when she goes to university," Ms. Nguyet shared.
Teacher Nguyen Thi He, Dieu's homeroom teacher, said that not only is Dieu a good student, but she is also a good and polite student.
“What makes Dieu successful is her own efforts. We, the teachers, are just guides, but Dieu's achievements are her own,” Ms. He shared.
