Finding the Reason a 24-Year-Old Former Student Continued to College

At the age of 24, when her career was on the rise, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Duong made a bold decision – to return to university once again. Despite all the advice, Ngoc Duong said she was very impressed with the study program and training methods of Accounting. In particular, when she saw the slogan “Learn to change”, the 9X girl no longer hesitated but decided to immediately submit her application to Dai Nam University.

Decided to return to school at the age of 24

Ngoc Duong was born in 1997 and graduated from Hanoi University of Industry with a degree of Excellence. After graduating in 2018, Duong was recruited to work at May 10 Company with a relatively stable salary.

Life seemed to be stable until the age of 24, the young girl decided to return to school and become a student. “I am a person who likes to learn and experience new things. I realized that I have a passion for Accounting, so I really want to learn and study more about this field,” Ngoc Duong shared.

Ngoc Duong decided to continue his university studies at the age of 24.

Even though they have made a decision for themselves, 9X people still have a headache with the questions: "Which school to study? Which learning environment has a lot of experience and is "attractive" enough for someone who has worked for 4 years? Can an "older" person keep up with the school, teachers and friends?..."

At the most confusing moment, Ngoc Duong was accidentally introduced to Dai Nam University by an acquaintance. After going to the school's website and fanpage to learn more, Ngoc Duong was very impressed with the study program and training methods of the Accounting major. In particular, when seeing the slogan "Learn to change", the 9X no longer hesitated but decided to immediately submit his application to Dai Nam University.

“I see that Dai Nam and I have the same goal, which is to study to change. I want to change to become a better version of myself, to live and work in the profession that I love,” she said.

"Sister" class monitor of Accounting class 15.01

As the oldest student in the class, from the very first day of class, Ngoc Duong was assigned by Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Xuan - Head teacher to be the class monitor of Accounting class 15.01.

“I believe Ngoc Duong will do well in the assigned role. Above all, I want him to overcome his shyness compared to his 6-year-old friends to quickly integrate into the school, class and learning environment at Dai Nam,” Ms. Xuan shared.

In her new position, Ngoc Duong has untied each knot and opened her heart to everyone. From a shy and timid girl at first, Ngoc Duong is now confident, active, and full of enthusiasm in school and class work and activities. She is affectionately called "Sister" class monitor by her classmates.

Ngoc Duong "dates" his homeroom teacher Nguyen Thi Thanh Xuan.

Feel lucky to study at Dai Nam University

Having been away from the classroom for a long time, Ngoc Duong's knowledge absorption was a bit slower than her friends. However, thanks to her own efforts, encouragement and support from teachers and friends, after only a few weeks, Ngoc Duong quickly "caught up" in the learning cycle.

In her first year of university, Ngoc Duong achieved 8.8 and 8.6 points in the first and second semesters, respectively. She also excelled in becoming one of the students of the Faculty to receive the School's Encouragement Scholarship.

The female student shared: “Returning to school, I did not have many expectations of what I would achieve. However, when I saw my name on the list of students receiving scholarships, I was very surprised and a little proud of myself. I felt that studying at Dai Nam University, where I met wonderful friends and dedicated, enthusiastic teachers, Dai Nam University was an important “turning point” in my life.”

Class monitor Ngoc Duong quickly integrated into the Accounting class 15.01 as well as the learning environment at Dai Nam University.

Sharing about her upcoming plans, Ngoc Duong said she will continue to strive to study, “win” scholarships, and participate more in the movement activities of the Faculty and the School. Ngoc Duong’s wish is to work with her friends to build a united and strong Accounting class 15.01.
