Strive to be a better version of yourself every day

Having congenital brittle bone disease, Doan Gia Khanh, a freshman in the 51st course of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Business Administration, University of Economics, had to move around in a wheelchair since childhood and was always facing the risk of bone fractures at any time. However, that difficulty never discouraged Khanh but instead became a driving force on the journey to conquer his dream of studying at university.

Khanh shared: “I chose to study Human Resource Management because this is a field closely related to the human factor. I hope that the 4-year university journey will not only help me study well but also practice soft skills and accumulate practical experience so that after graduation, I can do a job that suits my circumstances. Being a student is a source of pride and also a motivation for me to try harder; at the same time, it proves that no matter what the circumstances, if I persevere, it will open up good opportunities in the future.”

It is known that Khanh's journey to become a student is a process full of challenges and determination. Due to limited mobility, to prepare for the recent entrance exam, Khanh mainly studied at home, with support from her family to take her to the exam as well as the company of teachers and friends. Khanh hopes that the years of university will be an opportunity to develop herself, prepare for the future and become a better version every day.
