Losing her parents at the age of 8, grade 11 had an accident and had to amputate her right arm, female student Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuong persistently tried her best to overcome many difficulties to become a pharmacist with the dream of reducing pain for the patient. .
The girl innocently went through many harsh events of fate.
Challenge of fate
Born in 1999 in Hoang Chau commune (Cat Hai island district, Hai Phong), fishermen’s parents are fishermen day and night, often stay away for a month, since the age of 1, Phuong has lived with his grandmother and uncle. . When Phuong was 8 years old, his older brother was 16 years old, his parents were permanently away from the sea once. Phuong was brought up by her uncle, then raised by her grandmother.
During her childhood years, her grandmother and her whole family were the people who always stood by Phuong. Until Phuong entered 10th grade, her grandmother also passed away due to serious illness.
The pain of losing her has not ceased, in 2016, while in grade 11, a terrible accident struck, Phuong broke his left leg, his right arm was crushed so he had to have surgery to remove it. The body and mind are both hurt, the mentality of the 16-year-old girl is unsteady, unsteady and uncertain. There was a time when Phuong was depressed and wanted to give up all.
“At that time, I thought I had nothing to lose, the people I loved most had left, and this was what happened to me. The last moon is also composed, then die for everyone to be less miserable ”, Phuong recounted the saddest, most desperate moment.
Can’t give up
During the long treatment at the hospital, when she was calmer, Phuong “enlightened”: “If heaven has been challenged, he cannot surrender”.
Looking at the situation of the people in the same hospital room, she felt that she was still luckier than many people, because there were family members trying to cure her; I am still young, I can still try.
Not surrendering to the test of fate, the young girl began a series of days of struggle to overcome both physical and mental pain. In the hospital for 18 days, undergoing painful treatments, facing the pitiful eyes of the world, Phuong accepted the truth: his life from now on has only one arm left.
Being right-handed, now losing that arm, Phuong has to learn how to do things with his left hand to adapt to the situation. She gets used to all activities and practice writing, determined to continue going to school.
After leaving the hospital, Phuong persistently practiced writing and daily activities with his left hand.
Working with your left hand is difficult, practicing writing with your left hand is even more difficult. Many nights, her arm seems numb, the hand in pain can no longer hold a pen, but, determined to “learn a new person, learn a strong new one”, Phuong is even more determined to return to the classroom, even though she has to undergo through many difficulties ahead.
“When I first got back to school, I just wanted to cry, cry because of the intense hand pain, cry because the writing was not fast to catch up with my friends. When I finished crying, I tried to practice again because I couldn’t just take it.” Body defect is the reason to be lazy “- Phuong shared.
Sometimes, Phuong feels inferior in the eyes of people with disabilities, but with her strongest will, she persists in her study path to prove to everyone that she is not a useless person, no. surrender to fate.
Once a student who specializes in exams with clean words, Phuong tried her best to practice writing with his left hand, determined not to quit school after losing his right hand in an accident.
Then, Phuong graduated from Cat Hai High School. The young girl who has adopted the dream of becoming a pharmacist with the desire to alleviate the pain for the patient should choose the pharmacy major of Ha Dong Medical College to suit her academic capacity and ability to meet her future job.
“When I first studied, I felt sorry for myself and at times was discouraged. I have to bear the scrutiny of everyone, trying to mingle with you. Furthermore, many practical lessons have to be done with two hands, since there is only one side left, so I have to work twice as hard as the others …
However, pursuing a dream is the greatest joy. The most memorable memory is the direct participation in the preparation of drugs, I have the experience of feeling like a real pharmacist, encouraged by teachers and friends to overcome all difficulties. At that time, I was sure that studying pharmacy was the right choice, “said Phuong, about the challenging student days with both pensive and proud feelings.
Currently, Phuong graduated from Ha Dong Medical College after 3 years studying and is working in a pharmacy in Hanoi.
Graduating from a college in pharmacy since November 2020, Phuong is currently working for a pharmacy in Hanoi.
Want to live not just for yourself
“Currently, my daily life or work is done quite well with my left hand, no longer hurts. I’m happy that everyone around me looks at me like a normal person, not a disabled person. “, Phuong said.
Sharing about her future plans, Phuong wishes to participate in more volunteer projects to help the children who have had an unlucky fate.
Thanh Phuong participates in volunteer activities, helping children at Tan Trieu K Hospital with Hoa Uu Dam Club and students from Ha Dong Medical College.
“That pretty girl laughs very often. Through many times of losing loved ones and having such serious accidents, Phuong has surpassed all with energy and bravery. Not everyone is determined enough to reach out.” In my opinion, she is very good, admirable! “, Mrs. Hoan – Phuong’s neighbor emotionally shared.
Looking back on past events, Thanh Phuong re-contemplates life with very optimistic thoughts: “After all, I see more than I lost. When I was so tired, wanted to give up, I thought, gave up.” That is a waste of “work” that parents have sacrificed. Thinking that the destination is ahead, coming to the destination, the positive energy will come and will definitely succeed. If it is sunny, the stormy day will turn blue. If there is only one life to live, I want to live not only for myself “.
