VIEThere are journeys that go beyond the story of getting into prestigious universities – they are journeys of self-discovery.
For Trung Dũng, receiving his offer to study Chemical Engineering at University College London (UCL) has been a milestone, but what truly matters is the transformation in his mindset and way of living.
He used to stay quiet, now he’s writing his own story
At the beginning, Dũng was a shy and reserved student who rarely opened up to others. The question whether to study in the UK or Australia felt unclear – he only thought he preferred Australia without knowing why. Talking with his family was never easy, the gap between generations and his own quiet nature kept a lot unsaid.
A seasoned companion – quiet, yet unshakable
For over two years, Mentor Giang Nguyễn walked alongside Dũng with patience and dedication. Beyond helping him choose the right study destination, she guided him through books and life skills. Through each mentoring session, Dũng gradually learned to think for himself, to ask with curiosity, and most importantly, to decide with confidence.
Transformation from within – slow but steady
The most profound change in Dũng wasn’t in his university application, but in the way he perceived and lived his life.
He became proactive and confident, no longer afraid to speak his mind or make his own choices. His bond with his family also deepened, as Dũng learned to open up, share, and show love in his quiet, genuine way.
UCL – A milestone for greater dreams
Receiving the offer from UCL was a well-deserved reward after years of hard work, but it was also just the beginning of a much longer journey.
As he steps into one of the world’s top academic environments, Dũng carries with him newfound confidence and a sense of purpose, to become a chemical engineer who uses knowledge to solve real-world challenges and create sustainable value for the community.
Today’s success is not simply the outcome of an admission result, but the foundation for a meaningful life – one built upon inner growth and unwavering self-belief.
Mentors14 is proud of Dũng’s journey and wishes him courage and compassion to continue forging his own path.
The door to UCL is a start, and we believe he will use his his mind, heart, and drive to make meaningful differences in the world.
