This school has given wings to dreams (part I)

Nguyen Thi Phuong Chung (n)Journalism): Learning at school and learning in society!

• Year of birth: 1996.
• Hometown: Quang Nam.
• Major: Journalism (Faculty of Journalism and Communication).
• Graduation thesis:“Techniques for creating the appearance of characters in TV game shows”
• Graduation thesis defense score: 9.6/10.0.
• GPA: 3.73 (Excellent).

Since my first year, I have participated in many activities at clubs in the school, but the most closely associated with me is still the Student Volunteer Shock Team. I also participate in other social activities such as “Action For Water” (a competition of ideas to protect water resources nationwide with the sponsorship of the Israeli Embassy); participating in the volunteer organization “Warm clothes for children”….

If school gives us theoretical knowledge, social activities give us skills and rich life experiences. I believe that we will grow up a lot thanks to such opportunities outside of school.

The time studying at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities will always be a beautiful memory in my youth. Friends, seniors, juniors are all those who have accompanied me throughout the journey. Teachers are my close brothers and sisters who help me whenever I encounter difficulties. I appreciate and thank everyone, no matter how little or much, who has written a beautiful youth.

Tran Trong Hieu(nPublic Relations): Always set specific goals for your learning!

• Year of birth: 1996.
• Hometown: Hanoi.
• Major: Public Relations (Faculty of Journalism and Communication).
• Graduation thesis:“Strategy for spreading messages on online social networks of enterprises”
• Graduation thesis defense score: 9.8/10.0.
• GPA: 3.68 (Excellent).

During my four years at school, I did not follow any specific learning method, but I have a point of view: always determine goals from big to small, long-term and short-term goals. Each subject will have a big goal, and each big goal will be concretized into smaller goals depending on the characteristics and learning situation of that subject. I am always flexible in the way I study each subject to be able to get good grades.

Activities both on and off campus have their own characteristics and benefits. Outside of school, I learn a lot from my classmates from other schools, foreign students about ways of thinking, soft skills and knowledge outside of my major. I also actively participate in student activities in school to connect more with students from other faculties.

The external organizations that I participate in have characteristics that are somewhat related to my profession, in the field of communications and especially event organization. The project that I participated in the longest is the project "Bringing Astrology to Vietnam" - a project of Astrology Number. I also participate in other activities such as: organizing My Fleamarket, using the money to donate to children with cleft palates of the Smile Foundation; opening a garage sale to sell used goods with the participation of international students, selling and donating a percentage to support the project of building schools for children in Cambodia.

Doan Ngoc Chung(nLiterature): Dream of becoming a lecturer.

• Year of birth: 1996.
• Hometown: Hanoi.
• Major: Literature (Faculty of Literature).
• Graduation thesis:“Forests, Water and People: Ecocriticism of with the "Van Chau" in the Vietnamese Mother Goddess worship belief"
• Thesis defense score: 10/10.
• GPA: 3.64 (Excellent).

To achieve the success I have today, I feel very lucky to receive a lot of attention and help from many people. First of all, my family, especially my mother. She always cares, loves, encourages and creates the best conditions for me. I would also like to especially thank Ms. Lu Thi Thanh Le - who advised and guided me from my first research papers to my university thesis. She has always been there to guide and orient me on the right steps in my studies as well as my life.

In the future, I wish to become a lecturer, especially a lecturer at this Humanities School, to spread the passion and knowledge of literature that I have received from teachers to the next generation of students. And to prepare for this dream, I plan to continue studying for a master's degree and hope to have the opportunity to study and practice in an international environment.
