My name is Tuan Ha, I'm currently a MBA student at the College of
Business Administration of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
I'm from Vietnam, a very small but beautiful country in South-East Asia. Born in a family of university professors and studied in a school for students with outstanding aptitude in math which train many of the international Olympics medals winners in mathematics, I grew up with a great admiration of my parents, their colleagues and my classmates who spent countless hours solving complex mathematical problems or working in the labs. That great admiration from the childhood only came to put me at sad awe when I observed the difference between science and technology in Vietnam and the US: commercial application epitomized by venture capital industry i.e. equity investment in technology start-ups. It is venture capital that significantly helps render knowledge relevant, hence so powerful in the U.S.
I hope that the knowledge I'm gaining at the College of Business
Administration will empower my ability to contribute to the Vietnamese economic
development.
