I was born in Quan Son district, Thanh Hoa Province and I really enjoy playing chess, singing and dancing. I studied at Quan Son primary School and Quan Son Ethenic Boarding Secondary School and was appointed as class president three times. At the age of  13, I joined many chess competitions and I gained many prizes including 6 first district-level prizes, 3 first province-level prizes. To improve my soft skills, I participated in many extracurricular activities and volunteer programs like Green Summer. When I was 15, I decided to study at Thanh Hoa Ethenic Boarding High School. Now, I am living in a dormitory with my friends. Gradually, this helps me gain more independence, confidence and have a positive lifestyle. I always try my best to do well in everything. I hope that I will have more opportunities to discover many wonderful lands to expand my knowledge in the future.

I studied in Le Dinh Chinh Secondary School and during the course of this time I participated in a volunteer team in Ngoc Lac District in which we organized different voluntary activities such as donating books and clothes, visiting war soldiers' families.

My favorite subject is Biology because I am interested in how our bodies work and develop. I feel so fortunate to have a chance to get access to proper education, to gain the knowledge and discover the world.  I suppose I have to work harder and be more independent as this will help me be more mature in the future.
