Good example of studiousness
From 4am, Truong Gia Bao, a second grade student at Vinh Dai Primary School, traveled nearly 100km with his teacher by bus to Tran Van Giau High School for the Gifted to receive his scholarship.
Bao is an orphan and currently lives with his elderly grandparents. His main source of income for his studies is the small monthly allowance from his grandmother, along with additional support from family members so that Bao can continue to go to school.
She said that last school year she was at the top of her class in two strong subjects: Math and Vietnamese. Not only is she a good student, at home, Bao also helps her grandparents with simple tasks like sweeping the floor and carrying dishes for her grandmother to wash.
"I am very happy to receive the scholarship and will give it all to my grandparents to buy notebooks and pens for the new school year. I will study hard to not let down the love of the uncles and aunts who gave me the scholarship," Bao shared.
With the achievement of winning two third prizes in the National Excellent Student Competition, Hang Le Gia Bao, a 12th grade student at Tran Van Giau High School for the Gifted, is the recipient of the highest award of the "Support to School" program.
I was given a laptop along with a scholarship and gifts from sponsors.
Gia Bao said that the laptop is an extremely practical and meaningful reward for himself, especially when he is preparing to become a new student majoring in Computer Science at the University of Information Technology (Ho Chi Minh City National University).
Gia Bao has a difficult family situation, when for the past 6 years he lacked the love of his father, all the economic burden was placed on his mother's shoulders. However, during 12 years of studying, Bao always tried to overcome difficulties and achieved excellent results.
Ms. Le Thi Thu Thuy (50 years old), Gia Bao's mother, said that her son has a very high sense of self-study, is persistent and always proactive in completing his assignments. Thanks to that, during his entire study period, Bao almost did not attend extra classes but his academic results were still outstanding.
Bao's only support is his mother and a small restaurant near the school. The income from the restaurant and his mother's love are the great motivations that help him overcome difficulties and become a national excellent student.
"My child will soon go to Ho Chi Minh City to study, so I may have to move the shop closer to his school to make it easier to take care of him," Ms. Thuy shared.
