The female student said that after the exam, she still believed she could get over 29 points, but she did not expect the score to be as high as this morning's result. "I feel a bit lucky to have such a high result. My teachers reviewed me very carefully. When I looked up my exam scores, my mother and I were also nervous. When the scores appeared, I burst into tears because I was so happy and excited," the female student said.

Yen Nhi is the eldest in the family, with a younger brother in 10th grade. She suffered early when her father passed away when she was 4 years old. Her mother is a Biology teacher at the secondary school level.

Understanding her mother's hardships, Nguyen Tran Yen Nhi always strives to improve herself. For 12 years, Nhi was an excellent student. In grade 12, she won second prize in the provincial Literature competition.

Evaluating the C00 exam this year, Yen Nhi said that the Literature subject has a high level of differentiation. "When I read the Literature exam, I was very worried and nervous because I could not immediately identify the correct direction of the question. After spending a few minutes to think, I tried but could not maximize my ability. As for the Geography and History subjects, the questions were at a reasonable level, when I finished the test, I was confident that I would get over 9 points for each subject.

In Literature, my favorite is the social argument with the topic 'the sky of any homeland is the sky of the Fatherland'. I analyzed and related the merger of provinces and cities, and at the same time talked about the responsibility and efforts of the young generation in the era of national development," the female student shared.

Talking about the secret to getting high scores in group C00, Yen Nhi said: "Normally, I study from 7:30 pm to midnight in the evening. During the time when school is completely closed and I go home to review for exams, I study 10-12 hours a day because my health does not allow me to study more. When I am stressed studying, I turn to my mother. I think family is the best place to relieve stress and also the place to support me mentally. My mother always tells me: 'I never have expectations, I only hope for you'. Therefore, I always have the most positive and comfortable state to enter the important exam."

Nhi said that, of the 3 subjects in block C00, she invested the most time in Literature. She believes that this subject needs to be learned from the root, so she always listens attentively to lectures, takes full notes, and then combines online learning to improve her writing skills. With History and Geography, she has focused on reviewing since grade 11, mainly practicing analytical thinking, systematizing events and numbers to memorize quickly and for a long time.

Talking about her future plans, Nhi said she will apply to Hanoi Pedagogical University, majoring in Literature Pedagogy. Nhi said that since middle school, she has dreamed of becoming a teacher, because her family has a tradition in the industry, her mother, uncle and grandmother are all teachers.

"The dream of becoming a teacher has been with me since middle school. My family has a tradition of teachers and I find the image of a teacher very beautiful," Nhi said.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ut Suong, homeroom teacher of class 12D1, assessed that her students have great determination and always find ways to overcome their own limits.

"This achievement is not surprising. In the mock exams of the school and the Nghe An Department of Education and Training, Yen Nhi was always in the group of students with the highest scores," said Ms. Suong.
