Mr. Nguyen Tien Minh (Thanh Tri, Hanoi) said that this morning, the father and son woke up at 5am to prepare everything, from personal belongings to documents and drinking water. "I even personally checked my son's school bag several times, even though I knew he had prepared everything carefully since last night," said Mr. Tien.
His daughter took the exam for the IT specialized class - the class with the highest "competition" rate this year at 1/8. Mr. Minh admitted that he was just as nervous as his daughter. On the way to the exam site, he took the opportunity to send gentle words of encouragement, both to reassure his daughter and to reduce her stress.
"I hope my child will do well in this specialized exam, not only to have more opportunities to get into his dream school, but also to help him reduce the pressure for the upcoming city-wide public 10th grade entrance exam," said this parent.
