On June 25, 2009, more than 1,110 K50 students officially graduated. The graduation ceremony brought special emotions to everyone, filled with joy but also lingering worries. Let's listen to the new graduates express their feelings and open up about their cherished plans for the future.
Today, I am very emotional and nervous. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Here, in this big hall, among so many teachers and friends of the same age, I suddenly feel like I have truly become an adult. The feeling is hard to describe, I both want to go out to fly and want to come back to continue to be attached to this school.
It can be said that in my 4 years of university, the most memorable memories for me are the summer volunteer seasons. I volunteered with my brothers, sisters, and friends in Hoa Binh, Ha Tay, and Son La to help the lives of the people there. Those trips have trained me in discipline, team spirit, helped me mature, and realized many meaningful things in this life. Having volunteered, seeing the lives of many people still suffering, I am even more determined to study better and do more useful things for everyone. My nearest future plan is to transfer to graduate school. As for work, I don't know yet, I hope I will be able to teach at a university. In addition, I also really like business - a wish since childhood and also a way to explore more of my own abilities.
I have been waiting for this day to receive my diploma for a long time, and especially when I received my excellent graduation certificate from the Principal, I felt very honored and proud. I feel that I made the right decision when I chose the University of Social Sciences and Humanities as a place to study and cultivate, because today, when I hold my graduation certificate in my hand, I am also officially accepted to work at VTV1, Vietnam Television. I am an editor of the Smart Consumption program. Many people say that a university degree is not everything, but for me, this will be an important stepping stone for me to find many successes and new opportunities in my career.
There are many memories of my university days, but perhaps the most memorable one was when I entered the university lecture hall on the first day, teacher Nguyen Thu Giang (Faculty of Journalism and Communication) gave each of my classmates an envelope and said: write down your career dreams in it, seal it and I will keep it for you until 4 years later, when you are about to graduate, I will send you these envelopes back to see what you have done. And recently I received my envelope back. At that time, with so much confusion, naivety and career aspirations, I wrote that I wanted to have a job right after graduating and become a journalist. Today, when I have received my graduation certificate, I would like to thank the school and the teachers who helped me realize the wish hidden in that envelope, which was the first wish on my career path.
Today brings me many emotions, both touching and worrying about work and about my upcoming graduate studies. When I first entered the History Department, the class was very crowded. Then, I was selected to study in a high-quality class with a smaller group of only 20 people, closer bonded and also had better conditions for studying. I have so many memories with my classmates. I think studying in the History CLC class is a turning point in my university time. Because perhaps if I hadn't studied in this class, I would never have gotten a good graduation certificate today. In the near future, I will continue to study at a higher level, working while studying. I like to do research related to my major, or something related to culture and history. But I think there are also many other interesting things that I want to try, such as work related to journalism and communications.
Since yesterday, I have been very nervous and today I am so happy because in addition to receiving my graduation certificate, I also received a certificate of merit from the school (Certificate of merit for overcoming difficulties to study well). When I was in my second year of university, I participated in scientific research and won third prize at the faculty level and second prize at the school level. That is one of the things I am most proud of. Because that was the first time I saw my study efforts fully demonstrated. I had really happy days studying in the K50 Literature group. I was loved and trusted by everyone in my work and in learning exchanges. I hope that in the future, everyone will still keep in touch with each other and will still have such feelings for each other.
I like to study literature. But perhaps I will become a Literature teacher at a high school. I want to bring the experiences and knowledge of literature that I have learned at university to pass on to students, especially the experiences of how to study literature, how to pass exams, and especially the love for Literature. Teaching will help me more in the research that I have determined will be my career.
My feelings today? Only two words: happy and... worried. Worried because many of my friends in the department have found jobs before but I haven't. My friends majoring in Korean Studies and Japanese Studies have all found jobs and have very high salaries. As for Chinese Studies majors, I don't understand why many people are still... carefree. I'm looking for a job that allows me to work and continue studying at the same time.
In my final year, I studied Chinese culture and civilization taught by Associate Professor Nguyen Van Hong. Professor Hong is considered one of the “souls” of my department. I have heard a lot about him, but it was not until my fourth year that I had the chance to listen to him lecture directly. Every time I had the chance to talk and exchange expertise with him, I felt so small and needed to read more books to gain more knowledge. I always cherished his advice and found it to be a profound summary of a teacher who was both knowledgeable and had a beautiful personality.
For now, I will look for a job as an interpreter because Chinese is a strong language for students majoring in Chinese studies. But in the long run, it is a hard job for women. I will look for a long-term job where I can read books every day and be exposed to many new things. Perhaps a job as a researcher at a research institute would be suitable for me, maybe the Institute of Chinese Studies for example.
One more thing I want to say is that before studying at your school, I was a student of the Faculty of Literature at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City. I re-entered the exam and passed the exam to enter the Faculty of Oriental Studies. People say that you only know how good or bad a school is when you study there. And for me, choosing your school is a fate, an honor and a lucky thing. I took the C exam but I like foreign languages, so here I get to study Chinese. Studying here not only helps me satisfy that personal desire but will certainly help me have more opportunities to get to the jobs that I love.
