 About Me |
I was born in Ha Noi in 1984, under the sign of Aquarius. Have been living here till now.
I went to school one year earlier than others, due to my mother's will. Not so excellent but I was good at Maths, Physics, Chemistry and English at school. Maths and English were always special to me, Physics was also interesting, but Chemistry was quite boring. I liked Biology but seemed incapable of learning it well. I'm much interested in literature but the teachers' assessment was no more than so-so.
Not knowing what to do after the High school, I took the University Entrance Exam and enrolled Ha Noi College of Pharmacy in the first year of the Millennium. In the second year, fed up with the education at the College, I applied for the National University of Singapore, choosing pharmacy as the 1st choice and environmental engineering as the 2nd choice. But I was refused.
At the end of 2003, I found an online volunteer job. The work forced my brain to move. I spent a lot of time writing and managing stuffs. Got to know new interesting friends and got to learn a lot. I'm totally satisfied.
At the same time I accidentally bumped into TakingITGlobal. " Wow this is cool ..." - I thought, and started to explore the website with helpful advice from Brian Smith, who was moderating most of the forums at the time. The understandings, the slogans and Panorama's encouragement helped me to get on the right track.
One year later, I started a local innitiative - Clean New Year's Eve Campaign, which was my 1st step into the volunteer world in Ha Noi (and Viet Nam). This was a big hit that changed my life. I got to know more great people, discovered the world of NGOs, learned more about Environment, Community, Volunteerism and Sustainable Development ...
June 2006 I graduated from the university. Saying goodbye to both pharmacy and environment, I plunged into grassroot development. Being an "intern" I hoped to have opportunities to go and explore the actual living status of the people throughout my country.
----------------------------
Well I will update this Bio later. After 15 months of working in remote mountainous areas in Viet Nam, I have learnt a lot about development and my perspectives also changes when I look at everything.
Thank you for passing by and for having a look at my page here.
Best regards.
