Determined not to let her disability stop her from reaching her goals, Nguyen Thi Cam Nhung, from Ben Tre Province in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, is pushing herself toward a bright future regardless of the hardships life throws at her. Students at Ton Duc Thang University, located in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, have gotten used to the girl with one leg making her way to class on weekdays. Nhung is a first-year student of the industrial arts faculty. Before her accident while playing, she was a boisterous child like any other.
