52K DUE - A Model of Achievement (Part 2): Le Thi Diem Quynh - Relentlessly Pushing Boundaries

Le Thi Diem Quynh (Class 52K35.6-P, International Business, English-partial program) stands out as one of the most prominent faces of the 52K intake at the University of Economics - The University of Danang. Not only impressive for her entrance exam scores and academic achievements, Quynh also demonstrates a spirit of progress, resilience and perseverance on her journey towards her goals.

A Mark of Achievement

- 30 points admitted to DUE via a combination of English proficiency and academic records

- 25 points in the 2026 National High School Graduation Examination

- Second Prize in the school-level English Excellence Contest, academic year 2023-2024

- Consolation Prize in the school-level English Excellence Contest, academic year 2024-2025

- Third Prize in the city-level English Excellence Contest, academic year 2025-2026

Behind these impressive numbers is a story of persistent effort. It is the result of serious study, the pressure of expectations, and moments when Quynh had to confront doubts about her own abilities. “Difficult math problems, essays without ideas, and hundreds of vocabulary words to memorize, along with peer pressure, sometimes made me doubt myself,” Quynh shared.

For Quynh, pressure was not a reason to stop. Instead, she chose to face challenges head-on, gradually overcoming difficulties and moving forward. Encouragement from family and friends, along with her desire to make her parents proud, became the driving force behind her persistence.

Choosing DUE for a New Journey

Before entering university, Quynh had considered pursuing foreign languages. However, after careful consideration, taking into account both family orientation and personal interests, she decided to choose economics and DUE as the starting point for her new journey.

For Quynh, DUE is not only a place to acquire professional knowledge, but also an environment to develop resilience, critical thinking, and adaptability. A dynamic environment, with ample opportunities for experience and connection, is what she expects as she embarks on her university journey.

At 18, Quynh’s journey is just beginning. If she were to choose one value to accompany her throughout her four years at university, Quynh would choose perseverance and never giving up. “Outstanding achievements may open many doors, but it is ability and determination that take you further,” Quynh said.
