From Silence to Confidence: Tiến’s Journey at Thiện Chí Center

11/08/2025 Views: 1135 admin

Today, during the vibrant summer days, my grandson came to visit, and together we returned to Thiện Chí Center. Standing here, in this warm and welcoming home, my heart is filled with deep gratitude and emotion.

I am the grandmother of Tiến – a boy who, just a few years ago, brought our family countless worries. When he was young, Tiến was diagnosed with hyperactivity and significant speech delay. He struggled greatly with communication and fitting in with friends. Our family searched everywhere for help, but it felt as though every door was closed to us.

Fortunately, we were introduced to Thiện Chí Center. On the first day I brought him here, my heart was full of both hope and anxiety. Yet, in just a short time, thanks to the dedication, professionalism, and boundless love of the teachers, Tiến made remarkable progress. They not only taught him how to communicate and manage his behavior, but also ignited in him a joy for learning and exploring the world.

Today, Tiến is a third-grade student in Ho Chi Minh City, fully integrated into his school environment and consistently achieving excellent academic results. He loves learning, enjoys reading, and is confident in expressing his ideas. Seeing him grow, happy and self-assured as he is now, I can only say one thing: Grateful!

I am deeply thankful to Thiện Chí Center and the devoted teachers who have lit the path to my grandson’s future. The center is not just a place of learning—it is a second home, nurturing hope and helping dreams take flight. I believe it will continue to create miracles for many more families in the years to come.
