"Humanity - A corner in the heart"

If the student months passed in the innocent dreams of adolescence, then perhaps, the student years are the moments when we feel the most about maturity in life. I thought that the 4 years of university would be very long, but it was just a fleeting moment. Today, as a 3rd year student, as I have turned 21 - the age of knowing how to walk, how to search, how to trust and love, how to sacrifice for the things my heart is truly passionate about, knowing what freedom is, being myself, living without fear, without anxiety, without resentment, knowing how to worry about studying, career for life when there is no family by my side... I truly believe in the path I have chosen, believe in the University of Humanities - where I am studying and training to realize my dreams for my future life.

Nhan Van is a place with lovely friends, a place with enthusiastic, dynamic and lovable young people. There are also times when the school organizes events, and I am always excited because I will be able to watch performances, meet many famous people, listen to scientific seminars and especially have the opportunity to "chat" with friends. There are times when we fight to register for online classes, days when I come home from school hungry and miss the bus or arrive late and the teacher marks "absence"... but... "Youth is like a rain,even if you have a cold,still want to come back to get wet in the rain one more time…”

Five semesters have passed, it is not a long time but it is enough to engrave countless memories with the school, teachers and friends. I have lived in the dedicated and enthusiastic teachings of teachers and those five semesters were enough for me to achieve certain results. That is knowledge, determination, self-confidence to be able to step firmly into a new life. Teachers gave me a solid foundation of knowledge, someone compared teachers to silent alluvial grains, alluvial grains silently flow, nurturing many trees of life to grow green, fruit to bloom but never to be honored. Those silent alluvial grains taught me how to live, how to be a human, how to smile and how to accept difficult challenges in life.

That is the knowledge of social sciences, the knowledge that teaches me to be a useful person, that is always a solid foundation, the luggage to build a long-term career. Humanities has helped me with logical thinking, critical thinking, communication and establishing relationships - these are extremely important things in work as well as in life now and in the future.

Someone once said: “You are the one who smiles when you smile, is happy when you are happy but does not cry when you cry, because then they still have to hold your hand and hug you”. I understand that saying even more when I lived through the days of volunteering in the green summer in faraway Tuyen Quang. That land, those people were so strange to us. Even with students from the same school like me, we had never met each other, different faculties, different classes, maybe different personalities but we shared the same ideal of the Humanities youth “to live and devote ourselves to the fullest”. That ideal dispelled the fatigue of the hot summer days so that every day of our volunteering was always filled with laughter. Now sitting and recalling the days together sharing joys and sorrows, difficulties, and deprivation, those memories come flooding back to me as if it were just yesterday we were still together. Yes, the green summer has ended, but we are still always side by side, still recalling the beautiful memories of those days. For me, those days will not pass by in vain, I have learned a lot of things, have built a very meaningful friendship. That is probably a lucky thing for me. Because of those feelings, when we have to say goodbye, when each person has to step into life, has to choose their own path, no longer walks on the same path, suddenly each of us feels very sad, a sadness that cannot be named. A very strange feeling wells up in each of our hearts, perhaps it is not big enough for tears to flow but it creates sobs in our hearts.

Then, today's college friends will also turn in hundreds of directions, will fly to new horizons to realize their own dreams. But, please keep the best things for each other, forgive the mistakes, the anger, please engrave the feelings that have not been told to the friends we love. I wish that we will strive tirelessly with the enthusiasm of youth so that tomorrow from this school we will become people who are useful to society, will always be steadfast on the chosen path, and will be the pride of our teachers.

“There is a destiny that turns us into brothers, no one walks alone, we also have wonderful friends,..”

I love Humanities more than ever. Humanities gives me friends, loving relationships, devoted teachers, and the knowledge foundations that are truly necessary for life.
