[Vnbiz] C.K. finished MBA

            Dear Chi Cam Tu and anh Hoanh,

 

            My special congratulations to chi Cam Tu for your achievements.
It must have been very tough and with a lot of sweats, as I have myself
experienced it, studying while keeping a full-time job. But it has been very
rewarding, as I could choose the subjects to study which my work really need
them and also very interesting as I have the chance to compare between what
have been taught and what I encountered in the real life.

 

A wonderful day to all.

Dear CK and CACC,

 

Last Saturday I attended CK's graduation ceremony.  She is a VNBIZer, once
in a while she posts something so you may not have noticed her.   She is my
baby sister.  I am the head and she is the tail of the siblings.  Her name
is Cam Tu, but she goes by CK, which, according to her, stands for Crazy
Kid.  She works as a loan officer and real estate agent and graduates from
Strayer University with an MBA.  I have a picture of her and me here FYI. 

 

But I want to talk about the interesting Strayer University
http://strayer.college-info.org/ . This 115-year-old university, from its
beginning, has devoted itself exclusively to serve "adult students,"
meaning, students who work full time while going to school.  It doesn't have
a big campus.  It has little campuses throughout the US and other parts of
the world.  As I sat in the arena for the ceremony, I said to myself, "Wow,
this is fascinating.  Someone has devoted his work for adult college
education 115 years ago.  This man really has a great vision.  (My law
school, Marquette University Law School, a Jesuit school, is also the first
law school in the US that opened night, part-time classes for (poor) law
students about 120 years ago.  And I have always felt proud of that devotion
to the poor).  Anyway, I thought I would like our brothers/sisters at home
to be aware of a tradition of devotion to serve working students.  I hope we
will have a university like this in Vietnam.  I would love to talk to
Strayer to see if it can branch out to Vietnam. CK, you want to do that? 

 

Coincidentally, the main speaker was a Strayer alumni, a four-star general
of the US Marine Corps.  And he talked about leadership, my favorite
subject.  He told the students, "Your leadership doesn't start when someone
gives you a position or a big title. You leadership starts here, right where
you sit now."   He had a couple of long stories, but his main point was:
"Leadership is your willing to sacrifice yourself, including your life, to
help and to save others." 

 

Great day, CK and everyone.

 

Hoanh
