Leaders of Van Loc commune and Da Loc Border Guard Station presented gifts to congratulate Nguyen Trung Kien on passing the university entrance exam.
The pride of the "father in green uniform"
The news that the poor boy from the coastal area of Van Loc achieved a total score of 30.75 and successfully passed the Political Officer School is not only a joy for Kien and his family, but also a joy for his "fathers in green uniforms". He is the first "adopted son" of the Border Guard Command (Provincial Military Command) to do so. Kien's proud achievement is the sweet fruit of love that the poor student from the coastal village is grateful for, and dedicates to his family and his "adopted fathers" at Da Loc Border Guard Station.
Hau Loc 4 High School where Nguyen Trung Kien studied and achieved many academic achievements.
Kien is the youngest of four siblings. In 2014, when Kien was in third grade, his father suddenly had a serious accident that left him paralyzed. At that time, his education seemed to be interrupted. Knowing Kien and his family's situation, the Da Loc Border Guard Station adopted him as an "adopted son" to care for, raise and educate. Not only taking care of Kien's food and accommodation, the "adopted fathers" also bought books, clothes, and school supplies for him, and assigned officers to tutor him. When he entered secondary school, Kien no longer ate or lived in the station, but he still received 500,000 VND per month from the "adopted fathers" until the end of grade 12, under the unit's "Helping Children Go to School" program. Every month, the "adopted fathers" discussed with the school about his study situation.
The simple classroom nurtures Nguyen Trung Kien's will to excel in his studies.
Nguyen Trung Kien feels the noble value of soldiers to the Fatherland and the People, especially the silent contributions and sacrifices in performing the task of managing and protecting the homeland's borders of the "Border Guard foster fathers". That has contributed to fostering the love for the homeland and country, the sense of responsibility for the poor student in studying and orienting himself in the right future. Kien's academic results always made outstanding progress in his final years. In grade 12, he excellently won the first prize in the province in Geography.
In the 2025 high school graduation exam, Nguyen Trung Kien registered for university admission in group C00. With a score of 30.75, including 10 points in Geography, 10 points in History, 8.75 points in Literature and 2 points for excellent students at the provincial level. Kien has made his dream of becoming a student at the Political Officer School come true, a proud result for a boy from a poor background. |
Nguyen Trung Kien shared: “Since the day I was adopted by the fathers at Da Loc Border Post, I have not only received financial support for my studies, but have also been taught good things, the right things, how to love my relatives and strive to improve myself in life. Therefore, I told myself that I must always try to study hard, determined to fulfill my dream of becoming a soldier, contributing my efforts with my “foster fathers” to protect and build my homeland.”
Commenting on her student, teacher Tran Thi Lieu, homeroom teacher of class 12A10, Hau Loc 4 High School, said: “Kien is an intelligent and brave boy. In daily life and in his studies, he always knows where he is, what he wants and what to do. That toughness and strength are like those of a soldier. When I heard that Kien was admitted to the Political Officer School, I, as well as the officers and soldiers of Da Loc Border Post, burst into joy. Everyone is happy because a brighter future is opening up for Kien.”
Nguyen Trung Kien read the congratulatory letter from the Provincial Border Guard Command for his parents to hear.
Sitting next to her son, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Oanh could not hide the pride in her eyes. Her husband was sick and she did not have a stable job. She was very touched and grateful for the help and support of the officers and soldiers of Da Loc Border Post for Kien. Kiev's path to study is still long, she believes that her son will not let down everyone's love.
On a rainy afternoon in the coastal area, Nguyen Trung Kien sat next to his father's small bed. He opened the congratulatory letter sent to him by the Provincial Border Guard Command and read it to his parents. Those were words of encouragement and congratulations from the Border Guard soldiers for Kien and expressed their belief that he would confidently continue on the road ahead, achieve many successes, and become a useful citizen for his homeland and country. |

Many families still face difficulties, which partly affects their children's education. The program "Helping children go to school" and the model "Adopted children of border guards" of Da Loc Border Guard Station have become a solid support for poor students on the border line to go to school with peace of mind, conquer the alphabet and later become useful citizens. Along with the task of firmly holding guns to protect territorial sovereignty and maritime border security, through practical actions, the image of Border Guard soldiers is increasingly engraved in the hearts of the people, contributing to building the great national unity bloc, building a solid People's Border Guard position in the border area.
