say this: Dad ,I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.” Bill Gates is no longer

writing the program that would run one of the first personal computers. In 1975, they created

views of the lake from the classroom windows.
In 1943, the school was moved to Ninh Binh, and was not moved back to Ha Noi until 1945.
In that year, the school was renamed Chu Van An, after a famous Vietnamese Confucianism
teacher of the Tran Dynasty. Professor Nguyen Gia Tuong became the first
Vietnamese principal of the school. Many famous people like ex-Prime Minister Pham Van
Dong, Doctor Ton That Tung, and poet Xuan Dieu used to be the school’s students.
Today the school is still located in the same area, and has maintained its prestige, as well as
its reputation as one of the top schools in Ha Noi. It is very difficult to be admitted to the
school. Every year, there are around three thousand applicants but only about five hundred
are admitted. Those applicants have to take an entrance examination conducted by the
