New graduate Vi Thi My delivers remarks

Also at the ceremony, new graduate Vi Thi My expressed her deep gratitude to the leadership and lecturers of NEU. For My, the graduation ceremony was not only an academic milestone but also an emotional moment as she reunited with her teachers and friends and shared her joy with loved ones after a long journey of unceasing effort.

“I am overwhelmed with emotion as I receive my bachelor’s degree today. Working while studying was far from easy, and there were times when it seemed impossible to continue. But it was our teachers’ support and encouragement that gave us the confidence to persevere,” Vi Thi My shared emotionally.

Although she did not attend classes in person like students in regular programs, My believes that the E-learning program offered learners flexibility and suited those who were working, helping them both develop their professional expertise and pursue their aspirations for knowledge.

Addressing her fellow new graduates at the ceremony, Vi Thi My said: “Together, we have navigated a challenging journey, studying, working, and making time to care for our families. Today’s bachelor’s degree is not only proof of academic ability but also the culmination of effort, perseverance, and the determination not to give up. Although we did not meet regularly or sit in the same lecture hall, we accompanied one another on a very special journey—the journey of those who dare to dream and steadfastly pursue knowledge. I hope that each of us will continue to move forward with resolve and confidence on the road ahead, carrying the NEU spirit and the pride of a new graduate who has grown through the E-learning program.”
