Recorded at the test site of Vo Truong Toan Secondary School (District 1) on the morning of June 6.6, Mr. Nguyen Truong Giang, parents of Nguyen Ngoc Khanh Linh (student at Huynh Khuong Ninh Secondary School, District 1), brought their children to the test site. From early on, follow your child into the exam room and continue to wait for him until the end of the 10th grade exam time, even though the house is not far from the venue.
“I was afraid that my child would face problems such as stress, stomach pain during the exam, so I decided to stay on 'watch' to support him and the exam board in time if needed. It's normal for students to experience exam pressure, but no parent wants their child to be under pressure alone. Myself and many other brothers and sisters are still here because there are more than a hundred things to worry about for the children," said Giang.
At the same test point, waiting for his son to finish the exam, Mr. Vo Khac Thinh, the parent of Vo Gia Hung (a student at Huynh Khuong Ninh Secondary School), also felt "worried" more than the candidate himself. “This exam not only determines the high school aspirations but also partly affects the high school graduation exam, university life and future future of children. Don't worry about it," Thinh confided.
Sharing about his son's exam preparation process, Thinh said that in the past time, he has taken his son to many exam preparation centers to learn more skills and prepare mentally. Because of the study and examination, the teachers are in charge and guide, so as a parent, Mr. Thinh always focuses on taking care of his family members "to the teeth".
“Since yesterday, I did not let him study, but let him eat, drink and play freely as he liked. Each person has a thought, I personally believe that my child's learning has started a long time ago, if I try to cram more on the last day, I will only add confusion and fatigue," Thinh said.
Right at the school gate, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Phuong, parent of Dong Nhu Anh (student at Tran Van On Secondary School, District 1), attentively watched her child's every move until the bell rang to start the hour. did the homework and went back to sit on the car parked nearby. Phuong said that this morning she woke up with her son at 4:30, then continuously encouraged him with both actions and words before he entered the exam room.
“The family supports and creates conditions for the child wholeheartedly from nutrition through meals to encouragement with words of encouragement. This morning, she went to the exam with a very relaxed, happy spirit, even jokingly saying, 'Mom, I threw up the exam!'. I feel that's also a bit of a relief," Phuong confided.
On the afternoon of June 6.6, although the rain lasted for a long time, many parents at the exam site of Ban Co Secondary School (District 3) still tried to linger under the eaves of nearby shops, or even endured the rain to wait. I finished the foreign language exam. Ms. Nguyen Hong Van, whose child attends Colette Secondary School (District 3), is one such case. "It's nothing," said Van with a smile when asked if it was difficult to wait for her child in the rain.
In order to always accompany her son during the 2 days of the exam, Ms. Van said that she had temporarily put aside personal work to wholeheartedly and fully support her child on the "decision journey". “Later on, you may have to face many different 'gates' to overcome. But the 10th grade exam will always be the first and also one of the most important exams for your child's future development. Therefore, the companionship of parents is extremely necessary, "said Ms. Van.
It can be seen that stress and anxiety are like that, but parents always "hide" their thoughts in their hearts to try their best to support their children, always welcoming them with bright smiles and warm hugs. . The image of parents crying and laughing with their children on exam days will always and forever be the clearest proof of the boundless love that parents give their children.
