Essay by Nguyen Van Duong, submitted with the application for VNHelp scholarship, 2015-2019<\/b><\/p>\n

I would like to share with you the story of my life. This is the story that I was told by my family and neighbors when I was old enough to\u00a0grasp the meaning of my origin. Shortly after my birth, when I was about 20 days old, my mother abandoned me without giving any reason. Then my father followed my mother\u2019s footsteps and also left me and his own family. Again, no one understood the reason for his departure.<\/p>\n

Ever since, I have been haunted by a single question. I ask myself, my grandmother, my aunt and everyone around me all these years: \u201cWhy? Why did my parents leave me?\u201d Until now, I still have no answer. After eighteen years, my mother and father have never returned. I do not know if they are alive or dead. I have no photo of my parents. I have never seen my parents, not even once! The image of my mother appears only in dreams and my imagination\u2026 only in dreams can I pretend to enjoy the parental love that I never had.<\/p>\n

After my parents left, I lived with my grandmother. Then when my grandmother was too old and weak, one of my aunts took me in and cared for me. Like one torn leave that tries to cover another, we had little to share among ourselves. My aunt already had her hands full with her own children. She did the best that she could when she took me in, but she was only able to take care of me until I finished high school. On the day of my high school graduation, my aunt told me with tears in her eyes, \u201cI have done everything that I can for you, and now you must take care of yourself going forward.\u201d Truly, I was so very grateful for my aunt! But at the same time, I felt a deep sadness and quiet desperation swelling inside. For 18 years, to support myself through school, I have been selling lottery tickets. This has been my work that generates the main income for myself and my grandmother.<\/p>\n

My one and only wish is to be able to attend college. I always dream of having a family love and support so that I could concentrate on my education. Every day, I see other children who are dropped off and picked up at school by their parent. I see other children cared for and embraced by their families. I often wonder why it is that the simplest things in life, things that everyone can take for granted, are simply not in my reach. Nevertheless, when I think more deeply, I come to realize that I can still be thankful to have my grandmother and my aunt, someone that I can lean on. This thought gives me the driving force and the courage to carry on with my daily life. It helps me to overcome so many obstacles, particularly the emotional challenges that I face when I compare myself to my friends. To change fate and to return the love from my grandmother and my aunt, I must carry on with my education the best that I can. Passing the entrance exam at the [Polytechnic University] is probably considered a normal feat for most people. But for me, this is a huge achievement after a long journey and bitter struggle against my own fate. It is no small victory against the weaker side of my own self!<\/p>\n

Presently, I am full of worry because I have no family to support me during the 4 years of college. I will need to encounter the practical\u00a0challenges so that I can afford the 4 years of education. Will I need to drop out to earn a living? I very much hope that I will receive assistance from the VNHelp scholarship so that I can continue on my journey and change my destiny. I would like to be able to support my grandmother, become a productive citizen who contributes to society and, in particular, help other unfortunate people so that they can better themselves.<\/p>\n

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to VNHelp for making scholarships available to myself and other poor students. May it be a\u00a0door that will allow us to transform ourselves and make our most fantastic dreams come true.<\/p>\n

Respectfully yours,<\/p>\n

Nguyen Van Duong<\/p>\n
