New USSH King: Excellent academic performance, used to be a PVF youth player

Nearly 10 days after the final night, every time he entered class or met his friends on the schoolyard, Tuan Huy received the familiar words "Oh, there's a king!". The overwhelming emotion of joy, happiness and pride when Miss Luong Thuy Linh crowned him in front of hundreds of spectators was a precious memory for the first-year boy of the Faculty of Tourism.

In addition to the title of King, Tuan Huy also won the award of King of Sports.

Sharing with reporters from the Vietnamese Student Page, Tien Phong newspaper, Tuan Huy said: “From a player who was eliminated from a football club, then became a student at a major university, to winning the title of King of that school. This is a very long journey and it is difficult to find words to fully describe my feelings.”
Born in 2004 in Hai Phong, Tuan Huy left home at the age of 14 after being accepted into the PVF Youth Football Training Center. He spent 3.5 years training and playing professionally for two clubs, PVF and Hanoi. Because he could not meet the requirements, he had to stop training at the age of 18 and return to studying to find a new direction.

With a dynamic and sociable personality, a love of exploring new knowledge and working with foreigners, Huy chose to major in Hotel Management. At the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, he was the Vice President of the class and had an excellent academic score of 3.72/4.0 in the first semester.
Outside of school hours, Huy is a member of the Tourism English Club under the Faculty of Tourism Studies and FC USSH - the school's Men's Soccer Club. He chose to join both academic and sports clubs at the same time, because he wanted to pursue his passion, develop skills for his major, and develop himself comprehensively.

When the school launched the Talent and Beauty Contest, with his height of 1.75m, bright appearance and impressive academic achievements, Huy was encouraged by the class committee to apply for the contest. Realizing this was a good opportunity to spread a positive message and explore his own limits, he decided to register.
That wish was finally realized in the Talent round, with a presentation sharing about his journey of competition and study. To achieve the best results, Huy had to continuously write and edit the script many times, practice speaking in front of the mirror every day and ask friends for comments and suggestions.
“I was very happy to receive many positive reviews from the judges and a big round of applause from the students. Most importantly, I had won over myself and hoped to somehow inspire the audience that day,” Huy recalled.

Throughout the 5 months of the program and 6 rounds of competition, Huy received maximum support from his family, teachers and friends. His parents always closely followed his progress and asked about his practice, and were also the “diamond sponsors” for the competition costumes. His girlfriend helped him stay calm and encouraged him every time he stepped on stage.
Although the academic advisor could not follow his student's competition closely, he texted his students before the finals to give them advice, wish them luck, and came to watch the competition live. For Huy, everyone's concern was a great source of motivation to help him overcome his anxiety when he first stood on the big stage of a talent competition.
At the final night, after performing well in the traditional costume and evening gown competitions, Huy was one of three male students called to participate in the behavioral competition. When asked to “present a convincing reason for the judges to choose you as the King”, he gave a specific, honest answer that showed his own personality.
Huy said: “First of all, I am a polite person to the elderly, not only teachers, but also the janitors in our campus. Second, I am a student who knows how to share with everyone, willing to listen to their stories. From there, I can understand, sympathize and help them become better.
Finally, I am a competitive student. I compete to become better than I was yesterday. I will try to make the image of the University of Humanities not only good, not only good in Hanoi but also nationwide."

In his new role as the face of USSH students, Tuan Huy plans to take an additional MC skill class and gain more experience in this field if he has the opportunity. The personal image he aims for is a friendly, sociable king who always devotes himself to group activities.
Looking back at the difficult moments, challenges and first impressions of his student days, Huy summed up with his favorite motto: “Everything happens for a reason”. This saying has helped him maintain an open mind, think positively and have more confidence to overcome all obstacles.
