After a challenging application process, Olympian K12 Duong Nhat Lam has reaped well-deserved rewards, receiving acceptance letters and impressive scholarships from five renowned universities in the United States: University of Minnesota, ranked 53rd in the US; Binghamton University, ranked 73rd in the US, $40,000 scholarship; Indiana Bloomington, ranked 73rd in the US; New Jersey Institute of Technology, ranked 86th in the US, $80,000 scholarship; Seattle University, $132,400 scholarship.

With Seattle University - the home of tech giants like Google and Microsoft - as his new destination, Duong Nhat Lam will pursue a degree in Computer Science. He believes that this decision will put him at the forefront of the booming development of information technology and AI in the coming years. It also fulfills his passion for using technology to solve real-world problems.

"In the future, I aspire to become a leading expert in the field of information technology; to be in Silicon Valley and discuss with talented engineers about creating AI machines that change people's lives. I also want to use my knowledge and skills to contribute to the development of technology in Vietnam," Duong Nhat Lam shared.

Sharing about his time at Olympia, Lam said that his most memorable experience was conquering the "seat" in the best English class in his grade. From a student with limited English proficiency when he first transferred to the school in 10th grade, this Olympian was determined and inspired by interesting teaching hours and unique projects of the teachers. In 11th grade, he was moved to a higher level English class. And in 12th grade, he became a member of the highest level class in his grade.

The memories of many times participating in extracurricular activities with his friends, such as: acting in musicals, volunteering at the Olympia Film Festival, going to charity in Dalat with his class... are also beautiful memories that the Olympian will never forget. "Olympia has many activities for students to freely participate in according to their interests and needs. That's great. It not only helps us develop our strengths, but also hone many important skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork... Participating in diverse activities with different roles also helps me and my friends understand ourselves better, discover potentials that we didn't know before. Olympia is truly a land that inspires creativity and boosts confidence for every Olympian," Duong Nhat Lam shared.

Thank you, Lam, for sharing with Olympia, and we wish you continued success on your journey to soon realize your dream of becoming a world-leading technology expert!
