Regarding the competition, Thuong shared that she faced considerable pressure. For her, the biggest challenge was balancing her time and completing her entry within the organizers' deadline. Besides participating in the competition, she also had to maintain her studies and part-time job… Most of the entries were conceived and executed by her own efforts, and she sometimes needed help from acquaintances.

At that moment, I was so happy. I felt like I was bringing positive and beneficial values to people.”
