"Decision of life"

Those are the first showers of summer, although it is only the first rain of the season, we all realize the difference with the rains of spring. Spring rain often rains in long periods, the rain is not heavy but often makes people feel very wet and uncomfortable. Summer rain is different, the rain comes suddenly and also stops very quickly, the rain seems to refresh everything: grass, trees, flowers... even the soul of each of us.

Sitting alone and recalling, I also have many memories associated with rain. But the most memorable is the first time I set foot in the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to enroll on a rainy and windy day. But it was also on that first day that I knew my decision to choose this school was not wrong. At that time, I could not talk about the qualifications or teaching methods of the school's staff and teachers, but the first thing that impressed me here was the warm welcome to the new generation of students, and the enthusiasm of the volunteer students, guiding and showing the way to the new students who were still confused and unfamiliar with the new school. It was those actions, although simple, that made the new students feel the friendliness here.

People often say: time is like a river flowing endlessly, taking everything away, it passes very quickly and does not wait for anyone. It is true, in the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since I joined this school, and I - from a freshman entering a new learning environment with so many strange things, new teachers, new friends, life away from home, away from parents with so many requirements, demands forcing me to adapt, now I have become a second-year student, more mature, much more steady. I still remember the first time I left home to go to school, I cried many times, cried because I missed my family, missed my friends, my hometown and cried because I was lonely. Now, I am stronger, no longer cry like a child and especially I no longer feel lonely because I have wonderful friends who always support and help me even in the most difficult times. In my heart now there is not only homesickness but also love for this school, for my new friends and the passion and ambition for the major I have chosen.

I still remember the school's political class and the teacher's question: "Among all of you sitting here, does anyone feel that they made a mistake when deciding to take the entrance exam to the Faculty of Humanities?". The teacher's question inevitably surprised the students, and a few hands were timidly raised. The teacher said that everyone in life has made a few wrong decisions, but the important thing is whether we know how to resolve those mistakes and make them right or not? I still remember what the teacher said, I admit that during more than a year of studying here, there have been at least more than one time when I thought about the path I was taking, whether it was right and suitable for me or not? But then that thought quickly passed, the time studying and training at school helped me mature a lot. I realized that as long as I have passion and try to pursue what I want, success will definitely come to me. Realizing that I am not really excellent, but that does not mean that I will be discouraged or discouraged, but it is also the motivation for me to try harder, to achieve good results in studying as well as other activities.

The turning point from student to university student is one of the big turning points in life and I cherish that. In the new learning environment, everything changes, from the learning methods of students to the teaching methods of lecturers, only the dedication and devotion to the profession of teachers in all schools are the same. Studying at this school, I not only learned knowledge from books but also learned a lot from practice. We were trained more through participating in the school's clubs: Sol - art club, Rumbo Cheerleading Squad - cheerleading gymnastics club, Vovinam - Vietnamese Martial Arts club, and especially Hoa Da - a club dedicated to disabled students, in addition, there are many other clubs for students to choose from depending on their interests and abilities.

With a team of experienced teachers and dynamic, enthusiastic students in studying and training, teachers and students of the school are determined to try their best to fulfill their mission: "As a key, leading university with prestige and long-standing tradition, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Vietnam National University, Hanoi has the mission of taking the lead in training high-quality human resources, creative research and disseminating knowledge about Social Sciences and Humanities, serving the cause of national construction and development".
