At the seminar, the students of the school and the audience will hear author Nguyen Phan Que Mai share her experiences and secrets about the journey of nurturing dreams, preparing for the journey (foreign language learning skills, independence), determination to reach dreams (hunting for scholarships and job opportunities), integrating and enjoying experiences in an international environment. From her own experiences, those stories will be told by the author through the pages of her travel book.
