For many students, English begins as something they are expected to learn rather than something they genuinely want to explore. Surrounded by grades, exams, comparison, and expectations, a language meant to connect us with the world can gradually become a source of pressure and anxiety. Drawing from her own experience preparing for the National Excellent Student Competition in English, Trần Nguyễn Minh Như reflects on how she moved from feeling intimidated and inadequate to finding her own reason to keep learning. Through her story, she invites us to look beyond scores and achievements, and to reconsider what truly keeps us moving forward when external motivation is no longer enough. Perhaps overcoming the fear of English does not begin with becoming the best, but with finding something within the language that makes us want to take the next step. Let curiosity guide you, and let English grow with you - not as a burden to carry, but as a bridge to the world and to yourself. Trần Nguyễ
