My family is not wealthy by any means; my parents have to toil and work every day to raise me and my older brother. When I see their daily struggles, my belief in my educational journey grows stronger. Only through education can I get through life’s challenges and difficulties. Only through learning will I be able to escape disparaging prejudices against women and girls. Women are often not considered important in Vietnam, especially in some rural areas. Getting a proper education will help raise women’s status in society, so girls like me won’t be looked down on as before. Not only that, education helps me access more opportunities and more paths for the future. Education will lead me to success, so I can help my family.
