Cao Thi Hoa - Vice Principal of the School
When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a journalist. But due to family circumstances, my dream of becoming a journalist was not fulfilled and instead I went to a Pedagogical College.
It is difficult to say anything else than “fate” because when we came together as husband and wife, my husband, Dr. Le Dac Son, after 4 years of “fighting” in the Oil and Gas Corps, returned to his old school, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, to work as a lecturer. Perhaps on that day of “red firecrackers on the road”, we never thought that we would leave the lecture hall, leave our beloved students, so that both of us could go to another profession, in another country…
After 12 years of living and working in Poland, we returned to Vietnam, but fate pushed each of us in different directions. My husband is the General Director of VPbank and I, wanting to follow the career I loved since childhood, became a journalist at the Family & Society newspaper.
But then, perhaps the fate of “being a teacher” did not let us go, so in 2007, we returned to the lecture hall together, and that was the beloved Dai Nam University. And I suddenly understood that the teaching profession had chosen us as a “profession chooses people”.
Everyone knows that education in general and teaching in particular requires passion to be able to commit because this profession is extremely hard, especially in a society that is increasingly developing towards a market economy.
Saying this is not to “complain” but mainly to encourage oneself to continue on the path that “fate” has chosen. That path, unlike other paths, cannot be entered when one likes it and left when one is bored. If one wants it, one opens it, if not, one closes it…
Being an educator, being a teacher, that career is not only about food and clothing for yourself and your family, but it is also related to the fate of many people and, even more, of the community.
It is not only love, hobby, affection but also responsibility to society.
It not only requires passion, determination, talent, and experience, but also perseverance and patience because "growing people" is a "hundred-year" career.
Whenever I feel sad or stressed about many things, I often take a moment to think and imagine that on this path, many generations of students have walked through their first faltering and immature steps, and when they leave this place, they are like fully fledged birds flying into the vast sky, earning their own living and being the support of their entire families...
Those footsteps, those images are like sweet slow-motion films flowing in my heart so that every time I am tired, I get up again, try again and continue to carefully shape each brick, each row of trees and blades of grass, each program, each plan to bring the best possible things to generations of beloved Dai Nam students. So that those who are studying or those who have left can always be proud of their cradle, of the place where they spent their youth and that place, forever like a homeland, remains forever in their hearts.
And the more I understand, Dai Nam is not only love, passion, "asset" but also our destiny.
