In recent years, despite the difficult family situation (father is paralyzed, mother has low income), Luu Kien Truong, from Dai Thang block, Chi Lang ward, Lang Son city has tried very hard to study.His efforts are confirmed by excellent student results in many years. The high school graduation exam is an exam for him to fulfill my dream of becoming a university student. To encourage him, the ward delegation visited and gave support gifts. He shared that the support of the ward’s delegation is a great source of encouragement to me both physically and mentally. I will try my best to achieve the best results, not to disappoint the delegation and family.

In the hot summer weather, a glass of water, a fan, a free lunch break or meal is a great source of encouragement for the candidates, especially those with difficult circumstances. It is believed that with the active companionship of the delegation, candidates participating in the high school graduation exam in 2022 will achieve the highest results.
