In the familiar classrooms, the solemn atmosphere, the deep voices of teachers resounded, mixed with a myriad of emotions in the eyes of students: anxiety, excitement mixed with determination and hope. The 2025 high school graduation exam has officially begun, opening a new journey full of challenges and meaning.
June comes with a lot of excitement. Listening to the restless summer knocking on the door, remember, my dear, so many memories. The yearbook photos, the choked up autographs, the hasty hugs in the classroom hallway... all will be kept in a corner of the heart, so that later, when we remember, we will smile and say to ourselves: "That June, we went through an exam season together."
For senior students, June is always the most precious time. It is the days of diligently working on small books, the sound of flipping pages echoing in the quiet of the night, the clacking sound of the keyboard when searching for documents, the drops of sweat falling on the paper, making the ink smudge. It is also the tense eyes following each word, trying to memorize a little more knowledge before the important graduation exam.
June is the season of faith. Faith that every effort will be rewarded, that every effort today is the foundation for a bright tomorrow. And faith that, no matter what the final result is, these days will always be the most beautiful memories in everyone's life.
Behind the school gate today are the voices of many young dreams. The poor student was orphaned early, relying on his grandmother who was over seventy years old, thinking that his journey to school had ended. However, with the desire to use letters as the light of life and thanks to the sharing of many kind people, he was able to continue going to school.
The little student, who has a serious illness, is still determined to enter university to pursue her favorite career... Those dreams have been nurtured for many years, and are now gradually coming true. The high school exam is not simply a test of knowledge, but a door that opens the future, a launching pad for many aspirations to fly far.
Expectations come not only from the students themselves but also from their families, teachers and the community. Parents expect their children to be successful and have a bright future. Teachers expect the "seeds" they sow to bear fruit. These expectations sometimes create pressure, but above all, they are a strong motivation, urging students to make constant efforts. Because, after months of studying hard, the result is not only a degree, but also pride, confidence in oneself, and affirmation of endless efforts.
As for me, June always awakens beautiful memories of that year’s university entrance exam season. My father drove me on his old Cup motorbike. During the long journey, he always turned to remind me with a firm but loving voice: “You just focus on taking the exam, as for the travel, food and accommodation in Saigon… let me take care of it.”
Saigon with its five-way and seven-way intersections, each road section has traffic lights, causing the Cup motorbike to stall many times in the middle of the road. Sweat soaked his shirt, worry was evident on my father's face - not because he was stuck in the crowd, but because he was afraid that I would be late for an important exam. At that moment, I understood more than ever: behind my journey to find knowledge were the early mornings when my father waded through the fields in the cold mist, the scorching afternoons when my father still bent his back in the fields, the broken-down motorbike in the middle of a strange city, and above all, the silent trust that my father had in me.
Now, every time I stand on the podium, looking into the eyes of my students - some shining with innocence, some burdened with worries - I seem to see myself back then, with the dream of flying far away and a father standing silently behind. I know, somewhere behind them, there are also fathers and mothers who are working day and night, sacrificing every meal, every sleep - just to give their children wings. Just like my father did.
June, the exam season, is an important milestone in every student’s journey. It holds countless memories of a youthful time full of ambition and burning dreams. Looking back, we smile because everything we experienced in June has contributed to making us who we are today: more steadfast, more mature, and ready to take on all new challenges on the road ahead.
