These are the 6 universities that have sent acceptance letters and scholarships to Nguyen Bach, a K12 Olympian praised by teachers as "a hardworking and resolute student." Proactive in his studies and actively involved in volunteer activities, he often participated in event logistics, performed as a singer and guitarist in many artistic programs, leaving a positive impression on friends and teachers alike.
Joining Olympia since grade 6, Nguyen Bach shared that he had participated in many interesting academic and extracurricular activities. The experiential trips to Hue, Da Lat; the extensive intra- and interdisciplinary study projects; the charity trips to Ha Giang, Hoa Binh... all have helped him understand more about himself, the world, and develop many essential skills for the future.
"Before transferring to Olympia, I attended a quite famous public school, but the environment was restrictive. Back then, I would come home every day looking glum. Moving to Olympia, I was surprised to see students confidently voicing their opinions. To this day, I still see Olympia as a major turning point in my life. Olympia has given me the reason and environment to be myself. Here, I can express my viewpoints and be respected. I also met many inspiring friends and teachers. Perhaps, if I hadn't joined Olympia, I wouldn't have known that I'm an extrovert," Nguyen Bach shared.
Expressing deep gratitude to Olympia, Nguyen Bach said he would carry the beautiful memories under the purple school roof to confidently step into university and pursue future plans.
