Tearful secret about "mother's faith and poor household book"

(Dan Tri) - "I only have two things in my luggage, which are my mother's trust and my poor household book," shared by the excellent male student who graduated ahead of schedule, making his mother and many people sitting in the hall cry.

The feeling is not in the script

At the recent graduation ceremony of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education, new mechanical engineering engineer Nguyen Nhat Truong brought many people to tears when he mentioned "his mother's faith and the poor household book".

In his speech, when mentioning his mother, Truong said: “My luggage only had my mother’s faith and the poor household book. I was not a good child at that time.

Today, in my hand is an excellent degree. I just hope that in the future, my mother will always feel secure with my decisions and have a lot of faith in me."

Then Truong mentioned his late father: "Dad, no matter how far away you are, I hope you can witness this moment of mine. The moment I grow up and can take care of myself, I hope you will be at ease and proud of me."

In the graduation hall that day, Truong's mother, Ms. Vu Thi Kim Huong burst into tears. Not only her, many other parents also choked up and shed tears when Truong shared.

With the achievement of receiving an excellent graduation certificate, receiving the certificate ahead of schedule with excellent results throughout the course, Truong was chosen to speak at this year's graduation ceremony.

Truong said that he is limited in his ability to speak and communicate, especially in front of a crowd. When assigned the above task, he prepared his speech quite carefully to reduce his nervousness.

But for the part about “mother’s faith and the poor household book” sent to mother and father, Truong said there was no script. When talking about mother, those were things that… came out naturally from his own journey.

When Truong's father was alive, the whole family worked as farmers and their life was quite stable. Since his father passed away in 2017, only the mother has taken care of the children.

Truong’s mother worked at a wood company. After the Covid-19 pandemic, the job became difficult, so she switched to sewing at a store. However, she still encouraged her children: “No matter how hard it is, I will still support you and your sister to study.”

Truong’s family was granted a poor household book until 2024 to… escape poverty. Truong’s journey over the years, especially his years at university, was closely associated with the poor household book.

With a poor household book and good academic results, he was able to access subsidies for disadvantaged students, scholarships for studying, etc. Along with working part-time early, Truong helped his mother overcome his university years.

Once a rebel, moving forward thanks to mother's faith

With a GPA of 3.69/4, Nhat Truong is one of the excellent new graduates, graduating half a year ahead of schedule at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education this time. In his speech, Truong said: "In 12 years of studying in high school, I have never received any awards."

Truong said that he did not study well in high school. Not to mention, in middle school, like many of his friends, Truong had a period of instability and rebellion that made his mother upset.

However, Mom has never given up or lost faith in Truong. Mom always encourages Truong to pursue his dream, and Mom will also try her best to accompany her children.

Truong has 3 sisters, besides Truong, there is an older sister born in 1999 studying at Binh Duong University, a younger sister born in 2004, one year after Truong, studying at Ho Chi Minh City University of Transport.

My mother raised three children to go to college, so I could feel my mother's hard work and determination. It was my mother's determination and belief that gave me the motivation to excel and achieve good results in college.

The 22-year-old engineer confided that he is a man of few words and rarely shows affection to his family. Deep down, Truong hopes that one day he will be strong enough for his mother to rely on him and have more time to spend with her family.
