Meeting me on a weekend afternoon, although 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 still a high school student, Lan 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 with 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 a 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 every way 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. 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, there are few social protection centers in Hanoi, so you also have few opportunities to do internships.
In addition to the hours of studying in the classroom or doing internships at the center, Tuyet Lan is very active in the activities of the Youth Union. She participated in the summer volunteer program in Ha Giang in 2009, the summer volunteer program in Ba Vi in 2010, and several other short-term volunteer programs such as Children's Day, Spring Festival, Communication on domestic violence prevention, Sociological investigation in the highlands... The memories of the green summer campaign in the land at the head of the Fatherland, 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 there are still many unfortunate lives in this life that need kind hands to help. Unlike her strong, individualistic 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 in 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.
