Hard work and effective learning method is the key to her impressive academic achievements. Thuy applies different learning methods for each subject. She said: “For theoretical subjects, I always make a list of the main points instead of learning by heart. Doing exercise as well as putting theory into practice helps me remember the theory much more than learning theory by heart and then doing exercise. After a week, I get more and more knowledge and become confused. Therefore, I usually write the theory on a piece of A4 paper and stick it on my desk.” This creative learning method helps Thuy systematize her knowledge easily and remember the lessons clearly without spending much time.

To do Chemistry exercise well, Thuy believes that it is important to analyze and understand the questions. She said: “When receiving the questions, we should not be hasty. Keep calm, read the questions carefully, think about some cases might occur and then solve the questions step by step.” By her carefulness, Thuy rarely makes mistakes.
With the achievement of District-level Contest and the preparation for City-level Contest for Excellent Students, Doan Thuy said: “I want to say thanks to my friends in class 9/12 for caring about me as well as my teachers, school and the district management board for organizing supporting classes to help me improve my knowledge. I will try my best to get the highest results in the coming district level contest.”
Beside the studying time, Doan Thuy also spends time attending many extracurricular activities and festivals held by The Asian International School. Due to these activities, she can makes friends and have fun after school time.
