31 August 2022
Hue city,
Greetings from Nam! It’s such a long time since we haven’t met via this tiny letter, and I hope everything is still fine. If you follow our social, you may notice Techie has produced a bunch of great stories this month. So here I wholeheartedly share what we have cooked so far:
We partner with Viet Tech to exchange content and reach out for more meaningful stories.
We welcome Tri, a passionate front-end engineer, and new editors Luan, My to join the team.
Excited news: we reached 6k Followers on our Fanpage 🥳
Featured Story
I was introduced to Scarlet, a cute and energetic girl, via a brother. After some searching, I could easily find many famous articles from this little girl on Spiderum - a social network for young Vietnamese. She said that Spiderum, at first, was a place to share her growth diary. Gradually, she got a thousand upvotes for her articles, especially those about personal development. She soon became a phenomenon and received lots of compliments via that platform. Scarlet somehow enjoyed it, then rested on her laurels. This is the first time she has gotten such recognition! Scarlet’s mom seems like a “tiger mother”, who always pushes her to success. Her mom raised a very high standard that sometimes Scarlet wondered if she had ever met the expectation. However, after months, Scarlet was awakened from the win - people’s admiration comments, to push herself to a higher level. In parallel, she stops sharing on Spiderum. Such a smart girl!
Read her journey in Tech, with more than 9 internships before graduation.
