HI, a-alice. I am sorry to hear about your college exam results. I teach in China, and the gaokao (college entrance exam) there is very difficult. I suppose Vietnam's is too.
But in China, students have to wait a year to sit the gaokao again. So, on the bright side, you have another chance in a few months. So, you can take this set-back as a challenge, and work hard to ace the exam next time. Not everyone has to follow the same schedule. One of my Chinese students was 23 when she was a freshman, because she had to work first to earn money to go to school.
I know you are sad now, but soon you will be happy. I'm a teacher, so if you need help, let me know.
Very good advise @wheatdogg
I am very thankful for your advice. After listening to your advice, I feel luckier than the students in China. We have a second university admission exam, but only schools that lack students are eligible for admission. Fragile hope 😢 My parents said if I did not go to public university, I would have to go to private university. But private tuition fees are too expensive for me to follow.
How much are the fees?
5 million of Vietnam equals one month of my mother's salary. 😢 I can not go to private university. It will be a burden on my family. Calculates $ 250 a month, not including costs and additional school fees. 😢
You can generate income using Steemit. If there is a way to convert to Steem to Vietnamese dong, you could finance your education that way.
There is a website called kiva.org, which offers small loans to people in developing countries for schooling, business start-ups, and other things. The loans are crowdfunded, so many people contribute to the loan.
Are there scholarships available for low-income students there?
My advice is worry first about preparing for the exam, then worry about the money.
I think college level can not evaluate this person well, the other less. A few days ago I really suffered a lot, but heard the advice of you. I have had positive thoughts. Is China's university education burdensome?
From my American viewpoint, it's hard to get into a Chinese university, but easy to graduate. My students say the courses are too many and are often very boring, because the teachers do all the talking.
In the USA, the situation is different. It's easy to get into college/university, but the teachers expect students to study hard and be partners in their education. American students have fewer classes than Chinese students, but the requirements demand more individual work. So, it can be hard to graduate an American school.
I also heard people say that. So it looks like an American college degree is worth more than Vietnam. In Vietnam, it is difficult for people to go to college, so people's thoughts about college and not college are very different. 😟
It's a great pity that more people in VN cannot attend college. I hope you are successful. Stay positive!
