- My name is Huynh, but people call me Harry.
I'm from Vietnam.
I went to Cleveland State High to study my Year 11 and 12.
I have always wanted to be a nurse since I was little
because we live in such a poor community
where a lot of people were just in, like, a little slum.
From that point, I was just talking to myself
in the future I wanted to be a nurse to give back to the community,
and nursing is my first choice in my career.
Teachers at the school are quite supportive
because they know I'm an international student,
and what they did was they always gave extra time after a class
just help me and to go through everything
with everything I had written down, just to make sure I understand.
And if I have any questions, I would just come to see them after hours
and they would spend time in there with me and really helped me
and communicate and explain anything to me and to understand everything.
To be able to prepare to go to study Nursing at QUT,
you have to know a little bit of information about biology
or about chemistry, or mathematics, like I say.
And back in school,
chemistry and biology is my strengths.
And I got my achievement in titration competition in chemistry.
And also I got a really high achievement in my biology subject.
I chose Queensland because I came here to get a higher educational opportunity.
And I'm actually loving the lifestyle over here,
friends around and the environment,
and also, in the future, I will be able to get better jobs.
