Born in a difficult situation, but Phan Ba ​​Ngoc - a student of class 11A8 at Nguyen Xuan On High School, Dien Chau, Nghe An still determined to become a good student. Now, the dream of going to university is not too far away for him thanks to the help of the Giving Opportunities - Connecting Dreams program and Vietlott.

At Nguyen Xuan On High School in Diem Chau, Nghe An, many teachers have to pay attention to Phan Ba ​​Ngoc. He was at the top of his class in terms of academics, studied all subjects regularly and was one of the five students in the class with the title of excellent student in the school year 2020-2021 with a total score of 8.2, the highest score was 9.7 in history. He have just completed the HSG exam at the school level and am preparing for the upcoming provincial exam.

As the eldest son in a farming family, there is a child under Ngoc who is going to school and one with an intellectual disability. The main income of the family is from two poles of crops and the father's money. Outside of school hours, Ngoc also has to help his mother with farm work and take care of his two younger siblings. Every afternoon, when he comes home from school, Ngoc and his mother go to the fields to cut grass and raise cows to earn a little extra income.

In addition to studying, Ba Ngoc also earn money to support his family, so he has to work twice and three times as hard as his peers. The new cow, Ngoc raised for 7 months, it takes 10 more months to be released from the barn, which means that it will take nearly 1 year for Ngoc to collect the amount of 12 million dong in profit for 1 and a half years of hard work mowing the lawn. Ngoc intends, with the money to sell cows in the near future, he will buy another one to raise, and the rest will be paid for the school if she passes the university entrance exam. Ngoc does everything with a clear calculation plan.
