"After graduating, I stayed in Da Nang and worked as a hotel receptionist, which was in line with my major. The dream of wearing a military uniform once again surged within me, and I decided to express my desire to volunteer for military service to my parents and I got their agreement.
My father gave me a lot of advice, especially about being ready for any task assigned to me, not shying away from any work, and being active in order to live up to the honor of being called 'Uncle Ho's soldiers'."
