Among the tireless faces under the spotlight, Luong Thi Kim Chi - a 12th grade student at Dien Bien Province Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities (PTDTNT) who set a goal of entering the police force said that this is not just a wish, but a burning desire to reach a better life.
For Chi, sleeping all night seems to have become a habit. I couldnt get up early to study, so I chose to stay up late, sometimes until 2-3 am. Math, Physics, Chemistry need a lot of time to prepare the test and remember the formula" - Chi said.
Chi's family is a poor household, his father passed away early, and his mother took another step. Currently, Chi is living with her mother and stepfather, while her sister is living with her. The hard life urged the young student to try many times.
For many consecutive years, Chi has been an excellent student, continuously receiving scholarships from the school and organizations. For Chi, boarding in the province is not only a place to study but also a "second home", a solid support for him. "Many times I love myself very much, I just try to study really well" - Chi confided.
To create maximum conditions for students, Dien Bien Province Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities has opened classrooms in the evening, turning this place into truly "night-time classes".
All rooms are fully equipped with cool fans and lighting, ensuring the best review space for students before the important exam.
