The miracle of twin sisters in the mountains of Nghe An

(Dan Tri) - Born into a poor family in a mountainous commune in Nghe An, twin sisters Thao and Thuong made their teachers proud when they achieved high scores in the 2025 high school graduation exam.

Twin sisters Nguyen Thi Thao and Nguyen Thi Thuong, 12C1 students of Quy Hop 3 High School, created a miracle when they scored 28.5 and 27.25 points respectively in block C00 in the 2025 high school graduation exam.

Quy Hop 3 High School, located in Chau Quang Commune (now Quy Hop Commune, Nghe An Province), has nearly 90% of its students being ethnic minorities, with many families being poor or near-poor. In that context, Thao and Thuong’s outstanding achievements are considered a bright spot.

Not only outstanding in graduation exams, throughout 12 years of high school, both sisters were excellent students, actively participating in excellent student exams and union movements.

Nguyen Thi Thao, with her dynamism and courage, won fourth prize in the provincial Science and Technology Competition for the 2023-2024 school year and second prize in provincial history for the 2024-2025 school year. In this year's graduation exam, Thao became the valedictorian of block C at the provincial level with a 9.5 in literature; 9.25 in history and 9.75 in geography.

Nguyen Thi Thuong, though not as outstanding as her sister, also won third prize in the provincial economic and legal education subject. In the recent exam, Thuong scored 9.25 points in literature; 8.25 in history; 9.75 in geography, for a total of 27.25 points for the three subjects.

Despite their difficult family circumstances, with their parents working as farmers with unstable incomes, the two children have continued to strive to improve themselves. "Studying is the only way to escape poverty and change their fate," Thao shared.

The two sisters said they always remind each other to try their best every day. After school, they help their parents with housework, gardening, and raising livestock. Thao expressed her desire to study Literature Pedagogy at Vinh University, while Thuong chose to study law at Hanoi Law University.

"Although it was difficult, we never thought of giving up," Thuong affirmed.

Mr. Dang Xuan Hiep, Principal of Quy Hop 3 High School, emphasized: "The achievements of Thao and Thuong are living proof of the studious spirit of students in the mountainous region.

You have overcome the limitations of conditions and circumstances to assert yourself with your ability and perseverance. This is the pride not only of your family but also of the school."
