Hi everyone,

I'm Tuong Uy. I'm bursting with excitement to share that my "Internet-of-things" idea has made it to the TOP 10 finalists of the "Rebooting Hope: Digital Solutions for Social and Environmental Recovery" contest! I'm genuinely happy and still a bit surprised.

Looking back, I joined this competition with a simple goal: to test my abilities. I wanted to see what I could do, what new skills I could pick up. And above all, I wanted to do my part in helping our society and environment.

I know many young people have brilliant, creative ideas, but hesitate to join contests. I've been there, so I understand. But trust me, don't be afraid, just give it a try!

Creative idea competitions are an incredible opportunity to:

• Uncover your hidden talents: You'll discover what you're capable of, skills you didn't even know you had.
• Learn and grow: You'll get exposed to new knowledge, learn from experienced mentors, and level up your skills.
• Connect and network: You'll meet like-minded people who share your passion, and expand your network.
• Make a difference: Your ideas can potentially solve real-world problems and make a positive impact on our communities.

And who knows, you might even be the winner?

Regardless of the final outcome, participating is already a win in itself. You dared to step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself - that's truly commendable.

Seeing my name alongside other amazing ideas in the TOP 10 list is surreal. It proves that even small ideas can make a big splash.

I hope my experience motivates you to join creative idea competitions. Believe in yourself, dream big, and take action. Good luck!

A message to everyone:

This isn't just about my personal journey, it's an encouragement for all students. Be confident, dare to dream, and make it happen. Keep that creative fire burning, and success will follow.
