Poor family situation
Student Vuong Thi Thuy Dung (class 12A3, Hong Quang High School, Luc Yen, Yen Bai province) has a very pitiful situation. My mother passed away when I was 3 years old. Three years later, my father also died of cancer. At that time, I still didn't understand what an orphan was, I just felt helpless.
The dilapidated house where Dung's grandparents raised him

My father is the eldest child in a poor family with 4 siblings. My grandparents worked in the fields, life was very difficult. The whole family lived in a shack, dilapidated, with no valuables. But with the love of grandparents, I was raised with vegetables, porridge, and salt. "The family has something to eat, rice can be grown at home, but the food is not available, so sometimes I have to eat salt," said Mr. Vuong Quoc Trung (62 years old), Dung's grandfather, shared.
Dung's house is in a remote place (in Na village, the end point of Phuc Ninh commune, Yen Binh district, Yen Bai province), 5 km from the center of the commune by forest road, so traveling is very difficult. “At that time, there was no road, just a slippery path. To get to primary and secondary schools, you had to pass a pass. That's why when it rains and winds, I have to skip school," Trung said.
Loving orphans, eager to learn, Mr. Trung persevered through the mountains to take Dung to school in the first years of school. After that, he sent me to stay at my aunt and uncle's house closer to the commune center, so that I could go to school on my own. My uncles and aunts all work as housekeepers, but they also try to help feed Dung to finish secondary school. When I entered high school, the school was 8 km away from home, so going back to school was a big obstacle for me.
"I don't want to drop out of school, because I see many people who drop out of school can't develop," Dung confided. Seeing that she was determined to study, her grandparents sent her to H.Luc Yen to stay with her aunt and uncle (Dong's father's sister) to attend a nearby high school. “My aunt and uncle are self-employed, so their income is not stable. I know that my uncle and aunt have to work hard for me, there are things I need to buy for my studies, but I don't want to ask. My aunt and uncle gave me 3 VND for breakfast, but I only ate 10.000 VND, the rest I saved to buy school supplies,” Dung confided.

"I don't have money to go to school"
Despite the difficult situation and having to go to boarding school to study everywhere, the orphan girl still kept trying and trying. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself because I don't have parents, I just sit and cry alone, not letting anyone know. From the age of 8, I knew how to help my grandparents with housework and later when I was older, I took care of all the chores at home so that the adults could go to work with peace of mind. However, Dung's grandparents are old and sick now, so they can't afford to feed him.

In the tattered house, which had to be covered with tarpaulins to prevent leaks in the rain and wind, Mr. Trung sadly shared: "Since the 8th grade, Dung has learned to plant, grow vegetables, raise pigs to help her grandparents. The whole family loves you very much. It's just that my family is having a hard time now, because both of them are constantly sick and don't know where to get money to send their children to school."
Talking about Dung, Mr. Nong Thanh Luat, her high school homeroom teacher, said: “Dung is a very good student. Although it was difficult, my study results were very proud. My 3 year high school final score is 3 points. In the mountainous areas, many students dropped out of school early, while Dung was an orphan, but still tried her best to study. In addition, I enthusiastically participate in class and school activities.
Teacher Luat also said that Dung's academic ability can completely go to university, but this is difficult to come true, because her family situation is very difficult. “Dung could not continue studying, we regret it. I am obedient, have the will to advance, yes willpower, willpower. If given the opportunity, I believe that she will develop and have a brighter future”, said Mr. Luat.
Talking about her wish, Dung choked: "I just want a miracle to continue going to school. After I have a job, I can support myself and repay the people who raised me…”.
