She had always dreamt of working in a bank because she thought she would earn a lot of money. She was told that she had to try hard to make her dream come true.
She burnt the midnight oil and finally had some success. First, she was accepted to a prestigious secondary school in Ha Noi. There, she gained not only knowledge but also a number of skills including team work, cooperation, and interpersonal skills. She also became much more organised, thanks to the mountains of work which had to be completed to meet the strict deadlines. She felt she was lucky to have such supportive peers and excellent teachers! Her next achievement was when she gained admission to the Banking Academy of Viet Nam.
After three years, she graduated and was awarded a degree in banking. But she realised that she wasn't suited to a nine-to-five job in a bank, even though she was still interested in the subject of finance. Feeling confused, she decided to talk to her parents and her closest friend. Interestingly, she learned that she had the qualifications, skills, and above all, the aptitude for a teaching career. And now she's a lecturer for the Banking Academy where she graduated.
