When it comes to this topic, what brings to mind is my mom. She's in her forties now, and she's the one I turn to for advice whenever I'm in a difficult situation and struggle to make informed decisions. She always backs me up when needed and pushes me to reach my goals. I vividly remember when I was in high school, my academic achievement wasn't as high as I expected, and it wasn't enough to win a place at my dream university, which is one of the top-ranking universities in Vietnam, with top-notch facilities and a major in English, my favorite subject. At that time, I was so depressed and had no energy to continue studying, but my mom was there to accompany me. She encouraged me a lot, and I vividly remember her saying that whenever we have a dream, if we try, we need to mean it, and we can achieve it. It gave me a lot of thinking and energy to continue to achieve my dream. Although my mom didn't directly teach me, she supported me a lot. She prepared nutritious meals for me every day, woke me up in the morning because I couldn't wake up myself, and always tried to share with me so that I could blow off steam and release tension. And finally, I passed the national entrance exam with flying colors and won a place at my dream university. At that time, my mom and I were over the moon, and I cherish the moment when my mom was by my side, supporting me to achieve my dream. And it wouldn't have been possible if my mom hadn't supported me so much like that. And I'm so grateful, and now I'm trying my best to make my mom proud.
