- Hi, my name is Trinh. I'm 17 years old. I'm from Vietnam.
And I'm studying in Year 11 at North Lakes State College.
I have been in Australia for just over one year.
I chose North Lakes State College because I have family in the area.
My favourite subject is physics.
I have been learning physics since I was seven years old.
And my favourite study is Theoretical Astrophysics.
I have three physics lessons a week and it's a lot of fun.
My teachers are so friendly and they help me a lot with my studies.
I had an exchange on Year 11 physics to review about classical physics.
And last holiday, my teacher also applied for me to study
the Vice-Chancellor STEM Camp at QUT for a week.
I got to study a lot of knowledge and science at university level.
In Queensland, the educational environment is better, more technology.
We have the smaller classes and much shorter school day.
And this knowledge gives me a good chance to develop my ability
by researching the school assignment,
and doing, enjoying the outdoor activity.
When I finish high school, I want to study astrophysics.
I'm very interested in relativity theory. Black holes.
I've been researching about black holes for a few years.
And also the big bang theory, how the universe began and expanded.
So I want to be able to take astrophysics one day.
I think students should come to Queensland to study
because we can enjoy the balance between learning and playing outdoor.
It's also good weather all year round and a good place to live.
