Nguyen Phuong Linh, a student of class 12A12 at Vinh Phuc High School for the Gifted, said that when she took the high school graduation exam in 2024, Linh never thought about or set a goal of becoming valedictorian.

Valedictorian does not study extra

At exactly 8am this morning, Linh checked her exam scores and saw that she got 28.75 points for block D01 (9 in math, 9.75 in literature, 10 in English). In addition, her scores for history, geography, and civics were 9; 9.75; 9.5, respectively.

"After checking my score, I saw that my score was quite high, so I felt secure and turned off the computer and lay down to play. At around 9 o'clock, someone called to inform me that I was the national valedictorian of block D01, which surprised me so much that I couldn't keep calm. After that, I called my mother and cried," Linh said. The female student said that she had never set a goal of being the valedictorian. She took the high school graduation exam in a very relaxed mood, only using the results as a condition for early admission to university. Linh commented that she had a great advantage in having the ability to study evenly and balance all subjects. 100% of the time in class, the female student actively approached knowledge, listened to the teacher's lectures so that she wouldn't have to waste time reviewing at home. In particular, the female student said no to extra classes to have more time to study on her own. "I only focus on learning knowledge in class, I don't take extra classes outside because the teachers who teach me in class are the ones who understand me best, know what shortcomings I need to improve the most. Just practicing the questions the teachers give in class is already a lot and good," Linh said.

According to Linh, because she was a student majoring in English, she already had a good knowledge base. For the high school graduation exam, Linh did not spend too much time studying. From the middle of the second semester of grade 11, Linh achieved an IELTS certificate of 8.0. For all three years of high school, Linh was in the provincial team of excellent students in English (grade 10 won second prize, grades 11 and 12 won third prize). "In addition to studying from books, at school, I often study English based on my hobbies of listening to music, watching movies in English... This is a natural way to learn English, not forced," Linh revealed. Linh plans to study for a bachelor's degree in business administration at VinUni University, having been admitted early before Tet. Linh hopes to become a business consultant in the future, a job she was inspired by her father. "I want to say that, in fact, everyone has potential, ability and value. It is important to understand yourself to exploit these things," Linh shared.

English specialized class but has 12 students achieving 9.5 or higher in literature

Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huyen, homeroom teacher of class 12A2 at Vinh Phuc High School for the Gifted, said that she and the whole class were very proud of Linh's results. "As a homeroom teacher, accompanying Linh for 3 years of study, observing Linh's learning process and efforts, this is a very logical result. Linh studies well in all subjects, especially excelling in her specialized subject of English. In the assessment exams, Linh was always in the top scorers. In the first assessment exam of the Department for students in the whole province, Linh was the valedictorian of the whole province," Ms. Huyen said. According to Ms. Huyen, Linh's score of 9.75 in literature is also the highest score of the Vinh Phuc provincial examination council. "Not a literature class, but Linh's whole class is very good at literature. The average score of the whole class in literature in the high school graduation exam is 9.22. Besides Linh who got 9.75, there are 11 students in the class who got 9.5. The rest mostly got above 9 points. There are a few students who got 8.75," Ms. Huyen shared the class's achievements.
