The top student in block C slept until noon, not knowing he was the top student in the country.

Student Nguyen Viet Khoi Nguyen ( Bac Ninh ) is the valedictorian of block C00 nationwide with a total score of 29.5.

Nguyen Viet Khoi Nguyen, a 12A6 student at Nguyen Van Cu High School (Bac Ninh), recently became the valedictorian of the C00 block nationwide with the following scores: 9.75 points in literature, 9.75 points in history and 10 points in geography. The total score is 29.5. Surprised because the person mentioned in the article as the valedictorian is himself. Talking to Dan Tri reporter, Khoi Nguyen said that because he was quite confident with his graduation exam results, he slept straight until noon on July 18. When he read the article that the valedictorian of the C00 block was a candidate in Bac Ninh province, he still thought it was another student in the province. Khoi Nguyen said: "When Dan Tri reporter contacted me (around 11am), I realized that I was the valedictorian. I was very surprised because I thought I would not achieve the top position in the country." Khoi Nguyen once won second prize in the provincial literature competition for 12th graders. In class, he is considered by teachers and friends to be a person with high determination and will to study. Ms. Bich Van, the boy's homeroom teacher, said: "In class, Khoi Nguyen is a polite, determined and studious student. He always has to achieve first place in all competitions. If he comes in second, Khoi Nguyen will be a bit... disappointed."

However, the male student from Bac Ninh confided that he felt a bit regretful in the high school graduation history exam. In this exam, Khoi Nguyen achieved a score of 9.75. He said he got one question wrong about the Dien Bien Phu in the air event: "I feel a bit regretful for not getting the maximum score in this subject. However, I was very happy to have completed the exam to the best of my ability." The secret to becoming valedictorian is not staying up late. Sharing the secret to balancing study time, Khoi Nguyen said that he usually does not stay up late and only studies enough. "In my opinion, staying up late is not good for your health. Especially if you stay up late for a long time, it will affect your mind and body. I usually go to bed before 11pm and wake up early at 4am. Studying and working when my body has enough sleep will help me stay awake without feeling tired all day," Khoi Nguyen said. As a male student with a near-perfect score in literature, Khoi Nguyen said that during the review process, he prepared carefully, so when taking the exam, he kept his mind as relaxed as possible. During the review process, Nguyen always set himself a goal of 28 points. Sharing with Dan Tri newspaper, the male student's homeroom teacher said: "When I found out that my student was the valedictorian, besides feeling happy and joyful, I was not very surprised. In each mock exam, Khoi Nguyen always got high scores, specifically 27-28 points."

Principal of Nguyen Van Cu High School, Le Xuan Truong happily said: "Continuing the tradition of studiousness in Bac Ninh province, we are very happy to know that the national valedictorian, national salutatorian and Bac Ninh province valedictorian are all students of our school. Last year, Bac Ninh province had a student who was the valedictorian of block C00. This year, Bac Ninh province also has a student who is the valedictorian of block C00 and it is an honor that the valedictorian is from Nguyen Van Cu High School". Sharing about his future plans, Khoi Nguyen said that he will enroll in Hanoi Law University to continue nurturing his dream of becoming a lawyer.
