Humanity in Me: Dream of Twenty

Tuesday - April 15, 2014 23:17
“The day I turned twenty, I rushed into life. Life turned twenty and green.” The age of twenty is the age of burning desires, of hot passions… This is the ideal time to realize dreams that are somewhat risky but no less interesting for everyone. For dreams to reach high, fly far and become reality, we need a solid “launch pad”. The same goes for me. I may not have found the best launch pad, but I have found the most suitable launch pad for me. That is the university I am studying at: University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Vietnam National University, Hanoi.

Discovering different cultures to broaden my knowledge and being able to pass on the inspiration and knowledge I have learned from life to everyone is my small but challenging dream. Not being able to actually set foot on the lands I dream of, I travel through the pages of books, through the small screen... To have enough luggage for those interesting trips, I need to prepare carefully and thoughtfully. The satellite is successfully launched, entering the orbit that people want is a long process of preparation and implementation. The launch pad is just one of the factors that determine success, but without it, the satellite cannot fly. The School of Humanities is like a launch pad, and I am like a satellite preparing to fly into space, into the orbit that I want. The launch pad is the necessary premise to decide whether my flight direction is correct or not.

Stepping onto the launch pad, everyone was nervous, worried but no less excited. A little different from the Satellites that had been carefully prepared in the post-production stage, ready for the flight, I had a few “mistakes”. Entering Nhan Van under the name “Passing the second choice” made me a little different and disappointed. I had searched for a support platform and failed. I fell into a state of panic for quite a long time. The launch pad was only an emergency rescue case, unofficial. I always thought that with a launch pad that I did not put much effort into learning, I would not be able to succeed… And I was wrong!

Maybe it is not the best pedestal, but it is the most suitable pedestal for me to launch the highest and most accurately because not just having a good launch pad, preparing well will lead to success. The deeper I learn and explore the new home I am staying in, the more I believe in fate, the more I believe in the success of my life's flight. Studying at a school with a long history, having dedicated lecturers who love their profession, having friendly friends... makes me constantly nurture my passion, realize my dream. It is inevitable that there will be times of fatigue because of the consecutive exam days, the mountains of homework that need to be prepared... but all of that is the knowledge, the best luggage for my adventure. Learning not only cultural and social knowledge... but also learning life experiences to draw experience for yourself are even more valuable lessons, not all schools teach you. Fate brought me to Nhan Van, and after more than two years of being attached to this place, I do not regret my choice. Living in a market economy like today, worrying about food and money is inevitable. "Never before has money had such a terrible power" has become a familiar saying to everyone. I also know and study here, I understand more clearly the nature and terrible magic of money. Knowing and understanding that but not because of that, giving in, following the temptation that has no way out that the trap sets is the lesson that I learned at this school. That is just one of the useful lessons, the precious luggage that I carry with me throughout my life journey.

Humanities is the place that nurtures my dreams to grow into reality. It is not simply a launching pad, a normal support. After a short time of attachment, but enough for a young tree to stand firm without care, Humanities has become a part of me. It is not only a school to learn, teaching me many useful things, challenging me to help me grow up, but also a pride, a symbol in me. No longer disappointed by the name "second wish", but I feel happy when thinking about it. I learn and explore other cultures in deeper layers. I not only know but also understand them. To be successful does not only depend on objective factors, but also depends a lot on subjective factors, my own inner strength. Later, I may not be able to set foot on every land I desire, but I still understand its subtleties through what I have learned. I will pass on what I have learned to the next generation, so that they know, understand and can realize new aspirations, as solid provisions to enter life.

Nhan Van is the launching pad for my dreams to fly high, the home that nurtures my passion to always burn brightly… and the pride in my heart. “Twenty children give life a dream” and twenty is also the time to turn that dream into reality. I believe that Nhan Van will help me realize my passions and aspirations. Always be optimistic, try your best, never stop believing… so that later I won’t have to regret not daring to do it. At twenty, I felt my heart burning.
