My Leadership Journey with Shark Club
As the President of Shark Club, the VNU-HCM High School for the Gifted’s Economics Club, I’ve had the honor of steering its growth and impact since September 2024. I successfully expanded our membership to over 40 students and fostered a vibrant community through three major bonding events. Beyond internal development, I secured 20,000,000VND in sponsorships, providing the vital financial backbone for our ambitious projects. A core achievement was leading the Internal Research Program, where I coordinated 20 dedicated members to deeply analyze four business strategy texts and produce insightful, long-form articles on pressing economic issues. Most notably, I spearheaded ‘Show Me How,’ a transformative 7-day Business Case program for high school students across Ho Chi Minh City. This initiative empowered future leaders, reaching over 2,200 students online and culminating in a high-stakes final pitching competition judged by top professionals from organizations like Teach For Vietnam and Deloitte, truly bringing the world of business strategy to our high school community.
