When the results of the 9th grade exam for gifted students in Ha Tinh province were announced, many people were impressed with student Tran Anh Minh (grade 7, Le Van Thiem Secondary School). Minh won first prize in the Informatics subject when competing with students 2 grades older than him. This is not the first time Anh Minh has participated in a high-level gifted student exam. Previously, when he was in the 5th grade biology class, he won the city-level and provincial-level youth informatics awards for middle school students. Talking about the provincial-level Informatics exam for gifted students, the male student said that it was quite difficult for students his age, but he did well. The result he achieved in the exam was 18.3 points, excellently winning first prize. The knowledge accumulated before, combined with the guidance and review of teachers, helped him enter the exam with a confident mindset, determined to do his best. Minh said that he completed the exam in only half the time.

According to teachers, 7th graders will have less experience than 9th graders, not to mention the amount of knowledge they have access to is quite small, so they will be at a disadvantage in the process of doing the test. According to teachers, Minh must have a very good foundation of knowledge in IT to surpass his 9th graders to win first prize. The male student shared that since he was young, he was passionate about Math, then he found himself very interested in IT and caught up very quickly. The more he studied, the more he found himself passionate about this subject and had his own ways of studying. "IT makes me interesting, I can use Scratch language to create games and comics. In addition, IT can help me create calculations to apply in real-life problems," Minh said. To supplement advanced knowledge for this subject, Minh often searches for specialized documents in English. In addition to teachers, Minh also has the companionship of his father, who is an IT teacher. "With specialized terms, I have to look up and ponder many times, and with difficult algorithms, I find the most scientific way to solve them. In addition, I prioritize practicing questions online with sources of information technology articles to deepen my knowledge of this subject," Minh shared. Besides his passion for Math and Information Technology, the male student admits that he is a "bookworm". Whenever he has free time, Minh reads books, he often reads science books. Sharing with VietNamNet, Mr. Tran Thanh Kien, Principal of Le Van Thiem Secondary School, said that Minh is an excellent student in Math and Information Technology. He has won many awards and medals in competitions in these two subjects. "With the result of winning first prize in the province in Information Technology, the school is not surprised. Minh has a firm grasp of the knowledge, is good and very brave. His superiority is clearly shown when participating in competitions to advance his level and winning first prize in the provincial level in Information Technology is a wonderful thing," said Mr. Tran Thanh Kien. With his continuous efforts, Tran Anh Minh continuously won prizes at the city-level and provincial-level Youth Informatics competitions in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years; Gold medal at the TIMO International Math Olympiad; Silver medal at the Singapore & Asian Math Olympiad (SASMO) in the 2023-2024 school year.
