Manh Quan - 9th grader with the first prize two Mathematics and Science
About the studying process, Quan said: "I am fortunate to have my mother who is in fact a Chemistry teacher so I can have the advantage in consolidating my knowledge. During the 8th grade I participated in Chemistry contest and was lucky to have won the first prize. In the 9th grade, I had additional lessons in Maths and Science. Thanks to logical thinking, I was quick to absord new knowledge and therefore I did not experience too much difficulty . Also, when encountering hard problems, I would ask my teachers or friends to help. Everyone is enthusiastic and caring enough to always lend a helping hand. "
When asked about the secret to success, Manh Quan shared, "The most important factor when taking an exam is mentality. Strong mentality and self-confidence are prerequisites to success in exams. I would also like to thank Miss Bich Hang for leading the science team and Mr Vu Anh for Mathematics for having always been by my side and giving me useful advice. "
Not only being a smart and talented boy, Quân is also a model student, a much loved friend. Phạm Vũ Bích Hằng, Ph.Đ., who is in charge of the science team of the Hanoi-Amsterdam High School, commented on Mạnh Quân: "Quân is a very intelligent student, extremely serious in studying and very eager to ask and learn new things. Moreover, he is very humble and always willing to help his friends. In the science team, there is one student whose parents does not support his studyings; despite the fact that he performs so well at school . Mạnh Quân was always the trustworthy shoulder of encouragement, support and the bridge among people. He then won two Second Prize in Science and his major. Quân is always be there for people with such a sense of responsibility and sincerity. "
