After the final night of the Foreign Trade Charm 2023 contest, Nguyen Minh Anh (born 2004, Hanoi) became a name of interest when she won the beauty queen crown. Besides her height of 1.79m, she was also praised for her charismatic face and professional performance skills.
From a girl afraid of speaking in front of a crowd, the 20-year-old female student strived to overcome herself to achieve worthy results.
Surprised to be cared for more
Minh Anh said that since high school, she always dreamed of shining on stage but was not confident enough to speak in front of a crowd.
When she became a student at Foreign Trade University, regularly interacting with talented, dynamic and confident peers, Minh Anh had more motivation to try to improve herself. The female student was determined to register for the school's beauty pageant to have the opportunity to test herself and overcome her fear. When she reached the top 38, she informed her family and luckily received support.
Recalling the most thrilling moment of the final night, Minh Anh shared that when she held the hand of the remaining contestant in the top 2, she felt proud when thinking about her efforts throughout the journey.
"No matter who becomes the beauty queen, I am happy because this title is worthy of being given to all female students of Foreign Trade University. We are just lucky to be the representatives," the girl born in 2004 shared with Dan Tri reporter.
Returning to being a student of the Bachelor of Marketing Management program (a joint program between Foreign Trade University and Northampton University, UK) of the International Training Department, along with a new role, Minh Anh felt a bit strange. She did not dare to admit that she was "the most popular girl in school" because she thought that the shirt was a bit too big for her.
"I just get a little more attention, like teachers remembering my name and being tagged by friends on social media from time to time. Honestly, I'm still a little confused. Those things, in the end, are the motivation for me to develop myself more and be worthy of everyone's attention," she confided.
In addition, what Minh Anh "gained" the most after the competition was the memorable memories with the contestants in the top 12, and at the same time, she had more marks for people to remember her besides her outstanding height.
No intention of pursuing modeling
Minh Anh's parents were quite tall, so from a young age, she had a body that was much taller than her peers. When she was in primary school, she started playing basketball and swimming, so her height increased even more.
By 6th grade, Minh Anh was 1.68m tall, the tallest student in her grade. At the end of high school, she reached 1.78m and grew another 1cm when she entered university.
For the new Miss Foreign Trade University, her good height helps her attract attention wherever she goes or whatever she does. But there was a time when she wished she were shorter.
"In the past, I didn't like being tall very much. Sometimes, I just wished I was a little shorter so I could have a lover like my friends. But later, when I thought more maturely, I saw that height was my unique mark. I realized that when I know how to appreciate my inherent values, there will be someone who will appreciate me just as much or even more," she said.
Minh Anh admits that her height advantage helps her wear clothes easily, but they are European sizes. This is also a concern for female students because sometimes they can choose the right size shirt but are not sure to find pants that fit them.
Besides some small "troubles" in daily life, her outstanding height brought Minh Anh to many experiences in the fashion field. With a little premise of her mother taking her to a posture class, she knew how to walk confidently and gracefully. Therefore, when she had the opportunity to try her hand at modeling on fashion runways since she was in college, notably Vietnam International Fashion Week, the Hanoi female student took full advantage.
Minh Anh is also a member of the MC and Fashion Club of Foreign Trade University. But she surprisingly shared: "I feel that I have strengths in height and body proportions, so I decided to become a model. I have no intention of pursuing this industry long term."
The new Miss Foreign Trade University shows her versatility by singing. She participated in the 2021 Hoa Ca program and is a member of the Hanoi Catholic Youth Choir. The female student also loves to study and read tarot cards for everyone.
Studying and participating in many activities at the same time, Minh Anh sometimes falls into a situation of having to meet deadlines (rushing to complete assigned work before the deadline). To avoid losing balance, she lists the things she needs to do for the day or week on paper and completes them gradually.
Minh Anh believes that her personal achievements are not as outstanding as those of her schoolmates, so she always knows that she needs to try harder, at least attend school regularly. The 20-year-old girl always wants to be in a stressful environment so that she can always hone her skills and try harder.
After winning the title of Miss Foreign Trade University - the place still known as the "cradle" that produces famous beauty queens and beauties, Minh Anh also considered trying her hand at larger-scale beauty contests. However, for now, she will still prioritize studying, fulfill her role as a beauty queen well and seize the opportunity when it comes.
Revealing her ideal boyfriend, Minh Anh jokingly said that she could not finish talking until tomorrow. She is usually attracted to people with a gentle and humorous personality.
