Year 12 exams have started throughout Vietnam this morning - first exam is literature, commencing 7.30 am! (Who sets an exam for 7.30 am??)
There are lots of Blue Dragon kids in Year 12 this year - about 35 I think! - so we've had a few stressed teenagers around the place recently.
From our Hanoi centre, some of the kids sitting for their exams today are:
Hanh - our 'resident artist' whose paintings feature on the gift cards we sell at Christmas
Chinh - a former shoeshine boy who has lived in our residence for several years
Ngoc - the singer and dancer who was stabbed in late 2007 but made an extraordinary comeback
Hieu - a very bright girl with cerebral palsy, who has defied the odds to stay at school and do extremely well
There are 2 exams per day for 3 days, so come Thursday night it will be all over. Then the study for uni entrance exams will begin...

Good luck to the Blue Dragon students!! I hope they are able to really show what they know!
ooh All the best of luck to the young ones. Have they been eating beans and avoiding eggs and bananas? ;)
Geez I still remembering sitting these exams, NOT fun at all! But they're over really fast.
Good luck kiddos!
This time next year I'll likely be in the same boat. I have an interview for a teacher training course for which I have to do a five-minute presentation on anything - as long as I can engage the listener and it's a subject about which I'm passionate.
So I'm doing it about BDCF.
After all, if it wasn't for my experience with the kids there I doubt I'd even be interested in doing the course in the first place.
Best of luck to all of them, though I doubt they'll need it!
I am so proud of you guys! Cant wait to see you all.
All the best kids!
