After all the students featured in previous Student Life issues that APC reporters have had the chance to meet and chat with, this time APC will introduce you to an extremely talented and dynamic student.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the core student body at the school \u2013 Ms. QUACH THI NHU Y \u2013 a member of the Student Council.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c"Just so you know," this is the APC student life support team and the club managers!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let's learn more about this lovely girl!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

APC: Hi, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00dd: Hi, my name is Nh\u01b0 \u00dd, I'm a student in class 5173VPR02 majoring in Public Relations. Currently, I'm the Secretary of the Student Council (SC). Although I'm only a first-year student, I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in and be involved with the SC since my first days of university, which has been almost a year now.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I especially enjoy independent travel because exploring and discovering new things is an endless source of inspiration for me. Visiting new places helps me understand more about the culture, life, and people there, learn many interesting things, become more independent, and improve my ability to adapt to different situations. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

My strengths are my relatively good writing skills and my ability to express my thoughts well when writing. On the other hand, I have more time to think, so I feel quite relaxed. Therefore, when communicating in person, I'm quite slow in processing information and sometimes even make mistakes when I have to respond quickly. That's my biggest weakness, and I'm trying to overcome it \ud83d\ude41 <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

My motto in life is very simple: "Be everything you want to be." Because I love conquering challenges, especially the harder and more difficult they are, the more excited I get. I bet people wouldn't guess this personality just from my appearance, right? \ud83d\ude00 I may look delicate, but I'm actually very determined. Once I set a goal and know what I want, I'll work until I achieve it.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

APC: When talking about Viet My College, what would you like most about it \u2013 what do you like most about the school?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Talking about school, I could probably talk all day and still not finish!<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

For me, Viet My is like a dream school. It's small, but the facilities are excellent. Most of the teachers have many years of experience working in companies and businesses, so the knowledge I learn in class is incredibly practical, not just academic or theoretical. Plus, the teachers are lovely and understanding; everyone is approachable to the students, and they're always ready to help enthusiastically whenever we need anything. Outside of class, there are clubs like the English Club, Viet My Entertainment, PR Club, and Football Club for students to join.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

What I liked most was being a full member of the Student Council. Here, I'm free to be myself, do everything I like, and learn so much from professors and senior students through the Leadership Bootcamp and regular training sessions. Then, using the knowledge I've gained, we brainstorm and organize fun, bonding activities for students across the university. From planning, PR, creating checklists, budgeting, timelines, detailed scripts, to figuring out how to run the program, how to divide the staff, etc., after the program is finished, the whole team sits down for a meeting to discuss what we did well, what we did wrong, and what shortcomings we had, so we can learn from our mistakes and improve future programs. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

It sounds simple, but you only realize it when you actually do it. Sometimes the whole team stays up all night at school working until morning to meet the program deadline. There are disagreements, arguments, tears, and even external difficulties. Sometimes it's really discouraging, but we always comfort and encourage each other to get through it. Each time that happens, we feel more connected, because we're all students, but we're willing to dedicate our time and effort to creating programs for all the students in the school to have fun. No matter how tired we are, seeing everyone having fun makes us feel better because everything we put in is completely worth it. Through each program, I've become more mature and stronger in facing and handling problems, and my ability to handle pressure has also increased significantly. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

APC: Why did you choose to study Public Relations and why did you choose Viet My College to develop your career?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Note: The reason I chose this major probably stems from curiosity \ud83d\ude00 Actually, I hadn't decided what major I wanted until 12th grade. Around the end of the year, when universities and colleges were recruiting, I stumbled upon Public Relations. The name sounded so unfamiliar that I became curious about what kind of jobs I could get after graduating, where I could work, etc. I had so many questions that I immediately Googled it. The more I researched, the more interesting it became, with many jobs I liked and good career opportunities, so I decided to choose it. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

So I started looking for schools that offered this major, and among them was Viet My College. I researched the school quite thoroughly, from the training program, tuition fees, scholarships, job opportunities, internships, etc. Then I even befriended teachers and senior students at Viet My on Facebook to see what it was like. The heartfelt sharing from the teachers and the happiness with the school and the major from the seniors made me even more certain about this choice. Instead of spending four years of my youth at university with no idea what the future held, I chose two years and four months at Viet My to fulfill my dream. Although when I chose my school, almost all my teachers and relatives, except for my mother, opposed it because I was an excellent student for 12 consecutive years and should have gone to university, I believed in myself, believed in the path I had chosen, and now I can affirm that this choice was right. I am completely confident in the knowledge, skills, and attitude I have learned at school, and moreover, I am happy to be able to study and freely do everything I like in a "happy school".<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

APC: <\/b>Could you share a little about the work and purpose of the Student Council? What are the Student Council's upcoming plans or events? <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Meaning: The Student Council operates with the motto "Of students, by students, for students," so all activities are geared towards the ultimate goal of creating a positive student environment for everyone. This is the connecting body between the university and students, and vice versa. The SC represents and speaks on behalf of all students. Our main tasks include caring for and supporting student life, creating annual activities and training programs throughout the academic year such as: APC Cup Sports Festival, Vietmy's Got Talent, Leadership Bootcamp, Bonding Day, etc. That's why Viet My students are the best! They study hard and have fun, dancing and partying just as hard.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming events include the Leadership Bootcamp 2018 and, as usual, Bonding Day. Remember to check back regularly for the latest program updates!<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Trong<\/p>\n

APC: <\/b>I just heard you mention Leadership Bootcamp and Bonding Day; could you tell me what those programs are like?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Note: These are the "specialties" of Viet My, a traditional program held annually. The Leadership Bootcamp is a special training course to build leadership spirit, serving as a stepping stone for students to become Key Members in the core student force. To participate, students must go through several rounds of challenges before becoming official members of Leadership. During the training, students learn from experienced experts, and special exercises will help them hone the necessary knowledge and skills to guide themselves, break down barriers and limitations, and step out of their comfort zone... that's just a brief overview, too much would spoil the excitement. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

And then there's Bonding Day! This program is considered a bonding event for all students in our school. Students from different majors and classes will have the opportunity to get to know each other and make friends through fun and challenging activities like team building, bonfires, and food... Each year there's a new location and a completely new program so that first-year, second-year, and third-year students can all participate enthusiastically and never get bored. Like last year, students got to go to Ben Tre for 2 days and 1 night, having fun from morning till night, eating at restaurants all day and partying with super cool DJs... <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

APC: So, amidst the pressures of studying, participating in activities, maintaining the Student Council, and working part-time, what difficulties did you encounter?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, because I'm a perfectionist. I want to excel in both my studies and do everything well, so my daily to-do list is always packed. There's studying in class, attending classes at a tutoring center, working part-time, working for SC, and organizing programs. Sometimes I get stressed because there's so much to do, and I don't know which to prioritize or how to manage my time effectively. Sometimes I take on too much and don't complete anything well. That makes me sad, but it's also a learning experience so I don't make the same mistake again.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

APC: So, amidst those difficulties, who were the people who stood by you, helping and encouraging you?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

My point: During those times, the members of the Student Council always understood and encouraged me. There are only 5 members, so we love each other like family. If anyone has a problem, everyone cares and helps wholeheartedly. Most fortunately, I also have teachers who are very close and understanding. Whenever I need to confide in them, they are always ready to listen and give me the most helpful advice. How could I not love them?. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

APC: Do you have any hopes\/dreams\/plans after graduation? If so, what are they?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Idea: After graduation, I plan to apply for a job at a multinational PR agency. Sounds a bit unrealistic, right? But I think if it's a goal, then it's absolutely right. Although the path won't be smooth and easy, I will do it. <\/span><\/i>Do whatever you want, be willing to take on more responsibility, and have less free time to pursue that dream.<\/span><\/i> If you don't even dare to dream, how can you possibly make it happen, right?. <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I already have plans for my future career, but please let me keep them a secret for now!<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

APC: Thank you for chatting with me! I wish you all the best in achieving your goals and enjoying your wonderful time as a student at the university!<\/b><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
