Meeting me on a weekend afternoon, even though she had just returned to Hanoi from a long business trip in Thanh Hoa, the face of the new graduate from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities still shone with joy. The pretty girl with dynamic short hair - that is Nguyen Tuyet Lan, a student of K53 majoring in Social Work, who had just graduated with honors with a score of 3.63, and was a Outstanding Young Face of the Hanoi National University in 2011.When she was a high school student, Lan had cherished the dream of becoming a student at a university with a long history and famous names such as Professor Dao Duy Anh, Professor Tran Van Giau, Professor Dang Thai Ma... While many other candidates were still hesitant before many choices, for Lan, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities - VNU was the first and only choice. At first, she was still confused when coming into contact with the university environment, but for Tuyet Lan, the difficulties were just challenges to overcome. For the Social Work major, the lack of information and specialized documents was a big obstacle. But with her passion for learning and social activities, Tuyet Lan went to "search" all the libraries and bookstores herself, even though she only received head shakes because the documents in Vietnamese were too few. Not only that, she also tried to contact her seniors to borrow documents. A special feature of the Social Work major is that learning in the classroom must be closely linked to reality. The specialized subjects require students to spend a lot of time practicing at social protection centers and facilities. There are days when Lan has to "root" in the actual area for many consecutive days. On the other hand, the number of social protection centers in Hanoi is still limited, so you also have few opportunities to do internships.
In addition to the hours of studying in the classroom or practicing at the center, Tuyet Lan is very active in the Union activities. She participated in the summer volunteering in 2009 in Ha Giang, the summer of 2010 in Ba Vi and a number of other short-term volunteering activities such as the Festival for Children, the Spring Festival, Communication against domestic violence, Sociological investigation in the highlands... The memories of the green summer campaign in the land of the Fatherland's headland, the memories of the times of traveling to remote villages to donate clothes and books are always the most memorable moments of Lan. On each journey, Lan increasingly realizes that this life still has too many unfortunate lives that need kind hands to help. Different from her strong, individual appearance, Lan is a very skillful girl. In addition to her time at school, in her free time she often paints, sews or makes small, beautiful handicrafts to give to friends or children at the protection center. Currently, Tuyet Lan is a staff member in the community development department of the non-governmental organization Good Neighbors International. Her main job is to coordinate projects to support poor communities to improve their living conditions and develop themselves. Good at studying, personality, dynamic and very talented, Tuyet Lan has truly become the pride of students majoring in Social Work.
