Listen to your heart

I constantly experience and learn lessons to improve myself and become the best version of myself.

Previously, at the age of 18, I did not clearly recognize my personal interests and abilities. Under the pressure and expectations of my family, I chose to study business even though I knew it was not suitable. To cover my living expenses and accumulate life experience, I went to school and worked at the same time. However, because I did not set up an effective schedule, I pushed myself into a state of exhaustion, prolonged stress, and had to temporarily put my studies on hold. At this time, I had the opportunity to take on a management position at two famous rooftop bars in Ho Chi Minh City. Initially, this job gave me confidence mixed with excitement to become a part of a dynamic market.

But then, once again, I realized that this could not be the right career path to pursue. After much thought, I decided to go back to school, and at the same time had a bold plan: to study a new field. In August 2024, I told my parents that I wanted to study public relations at Gia Dinh University. And that was the right direction to help my youth be meaningful.

According to Nhu Y, it turns out that young people do not necessarily have to "struggle" to work very early, there is a lot of knowledge that needs to be accumulated in order to develop sustainably.

Now, at the age of 21, I am a student at two schools at the same time: a third-year business major and a first-year public relations major. Contrary to my initial worries about how to arrange my studies in different places, when I stopped working outside to focus on the lecture hall, I found myself again. I put all my mind and energy into studying and actively participated in social activities. The support and love from my family members gave me strength. In the new environment, I expanded my limits, my spirit was cheerful when I participated in interesting projects outside of class, contributing to creating a creative space, spreading positive inspiration to everyone.

Nhu Y's (left cover) love of art is affirmed: from singing, dancing to playing instruments, every time she goes on stage, this Gen Z girl confidently shows off all her abilities.

From different choices, sometimes in crisis, I realized that all the ups and downs are to create a steadfast and mature person. Just listen to your heart, dare to try, dare to take responsibility, I believe the future always opens up new and promising opportunities, so that everyone can not only develop more but also create value for the community.
