There were two girls who lived next door to each other, as close as real sisters. One was named Van Ngoc, the other was Tra My. During their time at school, they were always in the same class. If there was a year when the school did not arrange the class as desired, one of them would go back to beg her parents, insisting on changing classes. They had the same interest in literature, liked reading novels and comics, liked watching movies and many similar interests, so when they registered for the university entrance exam, they also wanted the same major.
Unexpectedly, Van Ngoc's relatives told her about a full scholarship to a prestigious university in the Netherlands. She returned home and told Tra My about this, convincing her best friend to make an impressive application together to apply. Ironically, right at the time of preparing for the entrance exam, including the essay test and some entrance assessments, Tra My's grandmother passed away. She had to give up an opportunity to go to the West and study with Van Ngoc.
