Tran Cao Cam Tien is a small, energetic and very friendly student, especially for those who love Taekwondo. Tien is known as an excellent athlete of the Vietnam Taekwondo Team when contributing to bringing in many prestigious medals in international tournaments. Some of them are for Female’s Doubles Gold Medal in the South East Asia Taekwondo Championship (May 5, 2019), Female’s Single Gold Medal, Female’s Doubles Gold Medal in the expanded Australian Taekwondo (June 2019), Female’s Single bronze medal, Female’s Doubles gold medal, Male/ Female’s Doubles gold medal for President’s Cup Oceana (June 2019).

The special thing is that Tien is currently both an undergraduate student and graduate one in the 4+1 Master program at TDTU with full scholarship thanks to international sports achievements under Decision No.1661/2019/QD-TDT dated on May 30, 2019 by the President of Ton Duc Thang University on granting scholarships to students participating in the 4+1 graduate program.

Although Tien has to spend a lot of time for practice and competition as a professional athlete, Tien still maintains a high achievement in studying. While seemingly facing the challenges in the graduate courses such as sports marketing and sponsorship, sports finance, sports events, etc., she still achieved GPA results above 8.0 proving the commendable efforts which are true to the spirit of TDTU students. She also shares her thoughts to her fellows:

“Time is the most challenging to me. There are days of my sleeping time of only 3 to 4 hours for the whole day in order to complete the assignments and tasks assigned by instructors and lecturers of the bachelor's and master's programs as well as of the coach in the team. But thanks to the university, the leadership of the Dean's Faculty of Sports Science, Mr. Nguyen Van Bac and all his academic staff's understanding, they always create good conditions to help me accomplish everything. The university's scholarship policy for students with achievements is a favorable condition, a motivation for students like me to overcome difficulties in education and career”.

Indeed, with the efforts and admirable achievements in competition and studying, Tran cao Cam Tien deserves to be a shining example for generations of TDTU undergraduate and graduate students to follow, and strive for health and education training to serve the country.
