Learning more, Sharing more!
I believe my mission in this world is simply to share what I know with others.
Đăng Kỳ – PNV23 Alumni
Đăng Kỳ (PNV alumnus, Class of 2020-2023) has always been known for his eagerness to learn and his initiative in pursuing personal growth. Yet, what makes Kỳ stand out is not just the knowledge he has gained along the way, but his willingness to share it with others.
During his time at PNV, Kỳ was always curious about new ideas and eager to explore beyond what he learned in class. Even when the COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges to his studies, he adapted and persevered, gradually turning self-learning into one of his strengths.
His teachers remember him as an enthusiastic and hardworking student, while his classmates fondly knew him as the “know-it-all” friend who was always ready to lend a hand with their studies. Sharing knowledge seemed to come naturally to Kỳ, becoming part of how he learned and connected with others. Even after graduation, he continued to embrace this spirit of sharing, returning to PNV in a new role as a tutor and mentor, supporting junior students in their learning journey.
“If what I know can help someone, I’m always willing to share it. Besides, PNV helped me when I was going through a difficult time, so I feel I should give something back, right?” – Kỳ shared
For Kỳ, sharing knowledge does not have to begin with grand gestures. Sometimes, helping someone better understand a concept they are struggling with is meaningful enough. Whenever he meets junior students again, especially at graduation ceremonies, he is happy to find that they still remember him. Seeing those he once supported complete their studies and receive their diplomas makes him appreciate even more the value of the time and knowledge he has shared with them.
Sharing knowledge does not mean he has nothing left to learn. On the contrary, guiding others is also a way for him to keep learning and growing. Every new question from a student gives him a reason to explore a topic more deeply and find clearer, more accessible ways to explain what he knows.
“When it comes to programming, understanding the fundamentals makes it much easier to fix bugs! Understanding the underlying principles also helps us explore related topics more easily. Learning to code is not just about memorizing a programming language’s syntax. It is about developing logical thinking and understanding concepts such as OOP and the principles behind how things work. Once you understand these fundamentals, a programming language becomes a way to express your thinking and define how a system works.” – Kỳ shared
This is also the mindset Kỳ hopes to pass on to his juniors: rather than trying to learn a little about everything, take the time to understand the fundamentals and build a strong foundation. Once you truly understand how something works, learning and exploring new things becomes much easier.
And Kỳ’s story is just one of many inspiring journeys like this at PNV.
Many PNV alumni continue to return as dedicated tutors and mentors, quietly supporting younger students as they navigate unfamiliar concepts and challenges. This willingness to give back is something PNV and teachers take great pride in, strengthening the meaningful bonds between generations of students and keeping the spirit of sharing alive long after graduation.
