"Moved and proud to be born, raised and educated in Vietnam"

In the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony, many students expressed their pride and emotion at being a small piece of Tran Phu High School.

Duong Thanh Ngan (class 10C7), valedictorian of Tran Phu High School, shared: "I feel very proud to be a student of Tran Phu High School on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Education and Training and National Day September 2. Through the ceremony, I learned more about the history of education and have more motivation to pursue my dream of becoming a math teacher in the future."

The female valedictorian also said the reason for choosing Tran Phu High School was because of the disciplined learning environment and clear orientation for students with high goals.

"I want to learn from my seniors to achieve success, and will also try my best to participate in competitions for excellent students and math Olympiads. In addition to studying, I also want to join the Cheer T-rex Club (cheering group) to practice soft skills and teamwork spirit," Ngan excitedly shared.

For senior students, the opening ceremony is even more meaningful. Huynh Ngoc Uyen Minh (class 12A12) emotionally said: "I feel very touched and proud to be born, raised and studying in Vietnam, especially today. In the opening ceremony, being able to attend with all my friends from across the country makes me feel very connected. We were able to attend the opening ceremony together and at the same time, which is very special compared to the opening ceremonies I have attended."
