I never thought I would achieve outstanding academic results, so when I received the news of getting two Best Performance awards in the VOV1 subject and the Global Citizenship Education Program, I was both surprised and proud. This is a truly meaningful achievement for my serious efforts throughout the semester.

💪 My biggest barrier when starting out was my English proficiency, especially the difficulty in communication. However, the Global Citizenship Education Program became the launching pad that helped me step out of my comfort zone. I realized that learning theory alone was not enough. I proactively practiced every day, from learning vocabulary to honing speaking reflexes. The biggest lesson I learned is: Don't wait until you are good to start. Just throw yourself into it, accept stumbles to correct mistakes, and small steps will create remarkable progress in both language thinking and soft skills for integration.

It is the modern, international environment at Swinburne, along with the enthusiasm and dedication of lecturers and friends around me, that has given me a lot of positive energy. I am immensely grateful to the lecturers here, especially Ms. Loan and Ms. Hop, alongside my friends who have always accompanied and supported me. Thanks to them, someone who was once shy when communicating in English like me is now confident in presenting my view points in a non-native language.

💪 If I had to name this achievement, I would call it “Small Steps”. Inspired by the book Atomic Habits by James Clear, I believe that small changes, when maintained every day, will create big results. In the coming time, I aim to successfully complete my academic program, develop my expertise in Finance, and continuously strive to become a better version of myself.

The past semester brought me great joy as I successfully achieved Best Performance in both subjects of the Global Citizenship Education Program. This achievement not only recognizes my serious efforts, but also gives me strong motivation for the journey ahead.

🔺 Learning is never easy. To me, the decisive factor lies not in last-minute rushes before deadlines, but in hard work, self-study ability, and consistency. In particular, going through the Global Citizenship Eduacation Program subjects brought value far beyond theory. It was an environment to hone English proficiency, critical thinking, and essential soft skills needed for integration. Through group assignments, I drew practical lessons on the importance of responsibility and teamwork - where individual proactivity creates strength for the entire team.

I realized that the practical environment at Swinburne, along with the dedication and care from lecturers, has helped me continuously expand my perspective. Like the philosophy “Phi tri bat hung” (Without knowledge, there is no prosperity) by scholar Le Quy Don, I always remind myself that knowledge is the root of growth, and this achievement is not the final destination, but merely a stepping stone on the journey of self-improvement.

🔺 In the future, I want to develop myself in the International Business field and continue maintaining good academic results to achieve more Best Performance awards in upcoming semesters. Additionally, I aim to accumulate more practical experience through projects and activities at Swinburne, thereby gearing toward working in international environments and building a future career to be proud of.

Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to my family and friends who have always accompanied and supported me throughout my studies. In particular, I am very grateful to the lecturers who took the time to guide me dedicatedly and provide advice that helped me improve with every assignment and develop critical thinking in everyday life situations. This achievement certainly comes not only from my own efforts but also from the support of the people around me.

As a K6 International Business student at Swinburne Vietnam, achieving Best Performance in both Managing the Global Marketplace and Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management in the same semester is a memorable milestone. To me, this serves as the motivation to remain disciplined and strive even harder in the upcoming semesters.

🌿 The biggest challenge I faced in these subjects was uncertainty: major-specific problems never have a single fixed right or wrong answer. From organizing a logistics chain for sports products to brand expansion strategies into Malaysia and the United States, every assignment imposed immense analytical pressure. Through these challenges, I realized that an outstanding solution is not necessarily the most ambitious one, but the one most suited to the business's resources and risk tolerance.

This pressure honed my proactive mindset and consistency. I do not do assignments merely to cope or just to pass the subject; instead, I always approach them from a business perspective. I often ask myself: “If this were a real-world problem, which solution would truly be appropriate and feasible?”. From there, I realized that theory only helps guide us, but data and critical thinking are the keys to making decisions.

🌿 Thanks to Swinburne, I have developed an open mindset and a practical approach to action. Foundational theories and applied assignments are often built on real-world situations and actual enterprises. Through this, I not only memorize knowledge but also understand how to apply it to solve problems. Above all, Swinburne has given me dedicated mentors and wonderful companions. The achievement I reached today is thanks to the experienced support of my lecturers and the enthusiastic encouragement of my teammates who always stood shoulder to shoulder with me.

Looking toward the future, I aim to pursue a Master's program in Supply Chain Innovation in Australia and develop my career in an international environment. I hope to apply my accumulated knowledge to build supply chains that are efficient, agile, and sustainable.

The past May semester was an extraordinarily special journey - one of my final semesters at Swinburne Vietnam, marking the first time I challenged myself by overloading with two major subjects and an internship concurrently. I used to think that the Best Performance title was a distant goal for someone balancing work and study, but in the end, unyielding perseverance helped me conquer every obstacle. This achievement is the most meaningful validation of my relentless efforts.

️🎉 During my studies, I remember the biggest challenge was the final project for ADV30002, where my team had to solve a complex problem: shifting the positioning of a digestive support product, which was stereotyped as “medicine” in consumers' minds, into an approachable, gentle daily-use healthcare product. Starting something new was indeed not easy when I had to proactively research and find solutions that were both grounded in reality and creative.

But I was never alone, because at Swinburne, the lecturers are not just deliverers of knowledge, but also like senior mentors in the industry, always ready to share practical experiences and accompany students on every step of their growth. In this subject, I always had support from consulting Mr. Anthony Le for guidance - someone who opened up new industry perspectives for me and always appreciated even my smallest efforts. Besides, a long journey cannot be complete without my teammates; they were the perfect puzzle pieces that helped me complete the project with a proud score I had never even imagined.

️🎉 Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to my greatest inspiration, my parents. Since childhood, I have witnessed their hard work and perseverance to raise me. From those exact moments, every drop of my parents' sweat became my biggest motivation to keep trying every day, live more responsibly, and always strive for the best results as a tribute to them.

Finally, I believe that a solid foundation of knowledge along with a prestigious Swinburne degree will be a strong stepping stone to help me conquer higher levels in my Marketing career, as well as on my upcoming journey to pursue postgraduate studies.

(Vietnamese version in the comment)

As a K6 International Business student, the past semester became a memorable milestone when I achieved Best Performance in all three subjects. This complete achievement is the clearest proof that my quiet efforts, late nights, and moments of pulling myself back up when exhausted were all completely worth it.

❤️ Honestly speaking, no path to good results is easy. But I believe “difficult” does not mean “impossible”. My secret is to always build a clear roadmap and proactively control my plans instead of going with the flow. During that process, there were times when I faced burnout from handling too many things at once. At those moments, I always chose to pause, prioritize tasks, and proactively break each task down. Those moments when I almost gave up served as a serious reminder that mental endurance is just as important as academic ability.

To become the Thanh Vy I am today, the environment at Swinburne Vietnam served as the spark that ignited breakthrough creative ideas, step-by-step honing the courage of a young person in the new era. Here, I have never been confined to a fixed formula, but have always been encouraged to try new approaches - a place that gives me the freedom to make mistakes and correct them through real-world lessons.

❤️Above all, I have never been alone on this journey, because alongside practical knowledge, there was always timely support and guidance from my lecturers. In addition, Swinburne gave me excellent and highly compatible teammates; this achievement was also thanks to the significant contributions of my study groups across all three subjects.

If I had to name this achievement, I would call it “Proof of Preparation”, because I believe success does not come by chance; it requires trade-offs paid with sweat and dedication. Looking at the road ahead, I want to proactively seek out practical opportunities to apply my knowledge in real-world environments. Because I believe learning is not just to know, but to do.

When I received the news of achieving Top Performance, my first feeling was immense joy because my efforts had been recognized. Getting good results in my major subjects this time also brought a sense of relief, giving me more confidence that I had chosen the right major.

👏 In my opinion, this achievement was not easy, as Swinburne requires a high level of proactivity and the competition among students is intense. The most important factor that helped me overcome this was consistency. I put my utmost effort into every assignment, treating each one as a separate goal, while finding the learning method that suited me best instead of relying too much on others.

Studying Finance helped me realize that knowledge is only truly valuable when connected through a practical lens. Thanks to my habit of reading financial news and academic materials, I gradually gained a deeper understanding of how economic factors, businesses, and markets interconnect. Swinburne’s approach to designing assignments closely tied to real-world business problems also helped me proactively hone my analytical and problem-solving skills.

👏 If I had to name this achievement, I would call it “Consistency Pays Off”. I believe that this achievement does not come from a single special moment, but is the result of countless disciplined efforts maintained regularly.

This experience, along with the companionship of my family, friends, and lecturers, serves as a solid stepping stone. Looking toward the future, I want to continue building a strong professional foundation and accumulating more practical experience to develop my career in the Finance field.
