ABOUT MY HOBBY

In my free time outside of school, I love playing sports with friends, especially soccer, badminton, and basketball. I also enjoy watching movies and TV shows to unwind and recharge for what’s ahead. Soccer, in particular, has been a big part of my life since elementary school. I’ve competed in various tournaments with the soccer teams of Đoàn Thị Điểm Primary School, Đoàn Thị Điểm Secondary School, and even took part in the Ams Cup with my high school class team. These experiences, filled with intense matches and moments shared with teammates, have not only sharpened my skills but also strengthened my mindset and determination. Soccer has helped me grow mentally and will continue to play a huge role in how I tackle challenges in both my studies and future endeavors.

When it comes to my favorite subjects and the field I want to pursue in college, my interest in math and science was sparked at a young age. Growing up, I was introduced to childhood articles and engaging TV shows that opened my eyes to the fascinating world of these subjects. They helped me develop a solid understanding and, over time, deepened my passion. I realized that everything around us, from everyday occurrences to natural phenomena, can be explained through science, with math serving as the bridge that connects them. Since then, I’ve always dreamed of becoming a scientist or someone who makes a real impact in this field. It’s not about the fame or recognition, but rather a desire to follow my passion, explore the world, and help solve some of the key challenges facing society and our country.
