Hi everyone,

I'm Tuong Uy. My team and I just experienced 3 days of 'burning' with passion at a creative idea competition (Ho Chi Minh City Round - The World Scholar's Cup - 2024). What's special is that our team came together on our own and registered to participate.

I must say, the atmosphere of the competition was incredibly exciting. With about 500 teams competing, each team having 3 members, nearly 1500 young people competed together, the space seemed to explode with ideas and passion. I could feel the joy and excitement of everyone. Seeing the radiant faces of the contestants when they received the awards, I also felt very happy.

This competition left me with many thoughts. I realized that to succeed in a competition like this, it is not only creative ideas that are needed, but also many other factors. These include critical thinking skills to defend and develop your ideas, teamwork skills to work well with teammates, and leadership skills to lead the team to a common goal.

I think these are extremely important skills for everyone's future. And this competition has given me the opportunity to practice and develop those skills.

I want to encourage all of you to try participating in competitions like this. It's not just an opportunity for you to show your talent, but also a chance for you to learn, interact and grow. I am sure that you will have extremely interesting and rewarding experiences.

Nguyễn, Uy (Mike) Tường
