Sometimes, the advice we need is closer than we think.

Behind every teacher, colleague, and familiar face on campus is a story - of unexpected turns, lessons learned, opportunities missed, new beginnings, and experiences that shaped who they are today.

To cultivate inspiration and highlight the wealth of experience within our campus, we are delighted to present “Messages from your BUV Community”. We invited our dedicated teachers and Listening Buddies to reflect on a few thoughtful questions about life, career, growth, and the things they wish they had known when they were younger.

Their answers are honest, personal, and grounded in real experience - with reminders that there is no single “right” path to growing up, finding your direction, or defining success.

Last week, our “Strong Foundations: Nutrition, Sleep & Movement” workshop offered BUV students a practical, in-depth look at the vital connection between physical health and mental clarity.

Guided by Ms. Trinh Thi Mai, participants explored the essential link between physical habits and mental clarity. We delved into how sleep quality and nutrition directly impact cognitive functions like memory and concentration, while learning how to design sustainable daily routines tailored to our personal body clocks. A key highlight was discovering how to integrate movement as a powerful tool to release stress and prevent burnout during demanding exam periods.

Through interactive discussions, students gained actionable strategies to build a resilient foundation for their psychological wellbeing. This session equipped our participants with a practical “wellbeing toolkit” to maintain steady energy levels throughout the semester.

Last week, our “Self-exploration: Values, Purpose & Responsibility” workshop provided an inspiring and insightful experience for BUV students!

Guided by Dr. Le Thi Thanh Thuy, a Doctor of Psychology from the Vietnam Youth Academy, participants delved into the core of self-discovery. Together, we explored how to identify personal values to serve as an authentic compass for decision-making and examined the vital link between individual responsibility and self-accountability. A key highlight of the session was discovering how to align personal purposes with future career goals to maintain long-term motivation and foster autonomy.

Through interactive reflection, students created a space to explore their unique strengths, growth areas, and core values. This session equipped our participants with the essential tools to navigate their university journey with greater clarity and confidence.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Last Wednesday, the workshop “Navigating the Quarter-Life Crisis” delivered an engaging and reassuring experience for BUV students!

Guided by Psychological Counselor Mr. Dinh Ngoc Binh, participants explored the stages of adaptation, learning to normalize feelings of loneliness in new environments, and handle career or social setbacks as data for growth rather than personal failure. A key highlight of the session was discovering how to align personal values with career goals to effectively reduce the panic of not knowing what comes next.

Through interactive discussions, we cultivated a safe space to unpack the quarter-life crisis. This powerful session equipped our students with a complete “survival kit” and practical tips for managing the stress of self-reliance.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all the students for their active engagement and genuine openness during the session.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our next event!
