VUS holds ceremony to honor students and parents

Vietnam-USA Society English Center (VUS) organized the IELTS Bounty Hunters Gala to honor 75 students who achieved IELTS 7.0 and thank parents for their efforts in accompanying their children.

With the theme "Unleash your dreams, move forward steadily", the ceremony featured a Dream Wall area. At the same time, the organizers quietly contacted the students' families to ask about their childhood and current dreams, and from there, created cards with drawn dreams and attached them to the wall.

"The students were surprised to see their naive or mature dreams when they were young," said the organizer.

Nghiem Manh Dat - a student who achieved IELTS 7.5 once dreamed of "becoming a pilot to fly freely in the sky". However, he now hopes to study abroad in Australia and start his own company. Another student with the same score - Pham Nguyen Nhat Minh also dreamed of becoming a superhero to save the world, but when he grows up, he wants to be a successful businessman and take his parents on trips around the world.

Above all, the 75 students in the program all shared the goal of achieving high scores in the IELTS exam. They understood the importance of foreign languages, specifically English. This is a solid foundation on the journey to conquer great things in the integration period. "This certificate can be the 'ticket' that opens up, taking you on the journey to conquer that vast world," affirmed the VUS representative.

At the ceremony, Pham Dinh Kien gave a presentation about parents with the question "Mom and Dad, what is your dream?". He is the youngest student to achieve IELTS 7.5. Kien's video shared the moment when parents witnessed their children's academic achievements. While young people all have realistic wishes related to career, study, study abroad..., parents' dreams are simpler, only aiming at their children's future.

After the video, Ms. Chau Loan - Pham Dinh Kien's mother said that when she was young, she also dreamed of flying around the world. "But when I had a child, my dream was my child. I was happy to hear my child share about his dream so that I could accompany him and help him achieve it. I will always support him," she added.

Similar to Ms. Loan, Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Linh - mother of Huynh An Khuong (a student who achieved IELTS 7.5) once dreamed of becoming a dancer. However, a difficult life forced her to temporarily put her dream aside and change careers to take care of her family. Currently, she just wants her child to live happily and do what he likes.

After this moment, the students stood up together to thank their parents. This is also the greatest meaning of the program through each organization. VUS representative affirmed that, in addition to honoring and awarding activities, the unit always wants to honor the values of family bonding, promote the role of parents, and guide children to build gratitude.

In addition, the IELTS Bounty Hunters 2023 Honor Ceremony also contributed to the record of 178,888 VUS students achieving international certificates.
