Interviewer: Hi Ha Trang, what motivated you to sign up for Ams Ambassador? What qualities do you think an ambassador needs to possess?

I signed up for Ams Ambassador without any hesitation. The reason is simply because I wish to seek for more passion and confidence in myself as well as having an opportunity to gain more experience. To me, an ambassador is not necessarily the most beautiful, the most successful or the most talented, but the one who has faith in one’s self and a desire to become a well-rounded person.

Interviewer: The final night is coming. What have you prepared for it?

I and other contestants are putting great efforts into the preparation process. It’s inevitable that everybody all has his or her own affairs, but we all find a way to manage sufficient time for the preparation of our appearance on the final night, including practising and choosing clothes for our performances. All these efforts are devoted to the most flawless performances and, above all, a memorable final night for all students.

Interviewer: With the theme “Palette” of NHAT 2018, what color do you think you are?

Among all colors, I consider red my symbolic color, from appearance to personality. To me, red does not only represent an appealing appearance but it also demonstrates interior passion and determination. I always hope to develop myself to my full potential and present myself in the most genuine and meaningful way.

Interviewer: You have admirable academic successes and extra-curricular activities. Can you tell us how you have managed your time?

Thank you for your comment, but I consider my achievements humble. I just think that I have made huge efforts. I have my own goals, which keep me motivated and focused. Also, because our time is short, trying hard is not enough. We need to prioritise our works. Understanding this, I always set to finish what is more important first and cherish the time I have.

Interviewer: Your photoshoot is impressive. Can you share more about it?

Firstly, I want to share that during my process of taking this photoshoot, I had received invaluable help from a brother, a friend - Bui Duc Tuan, Ambassador of Style of 2017. My idea for the photoshoot originated from a simple thought: nobody can live without fear. Even I myself was very worried when taking this photoshoot, and I want to convey this to people. Without any assistance, I would not have been able to make it.

Interviewer: Last but not least, do you have anything to say to all Amsers?

I have many things to say, but the most important message I want to convey to other Amsers is confidence. After this experience, I realise that confidence has helped me achieve more than I expected and learn to love myself more. I’m confident that I’m a fire that can light up the whole sky.
