Daughter ‘hates Math’ but remembers numbers about her father, making netizens emotional

On his 20th birthday, Huynh Nguyen Kim Thanh (a freshman at Hoa Sen University, Ho Chi Minh City) posted an article to a group with more than 600,000 members on Facebook. The article is about a girl whose father teaches Math, but she always hates Math and can’t love numbers.

“My dad is a math teacher, and I hate math so much. I hate numbers, hate calculations that make me wrong again and again, hate even having to memorize formulas that don’t serve my daily activities. I hate the fact that my dad didn’t let me use the calculator to calculate but forced me to do mental calculations during my 5 years of middle school and high school… I hate the fact that my dad told me to study like “Father is a teacher, I burn books”, Kim Thanh opens the article.

However, despite hating Math, Kim Thanh never forgot the numbers related to three. I don’t forget the 12 years my dad drove me to school, I don’t forget the number of times my dad stayed up late waiting for the two of us to go to work or go out.

Kim Thanh thanked life for being his son, and being given everything he had by his father. “The first three times I became a father, and I was also the first time to be a father. I always blame you for ‘why you used to be a child when I was never an adult, why didn’t you understand for me’, but I forgot that, you are also the first time to be a father, also the first time. First, you have to practice big without anyone to guide you.”wrote Kim Thanh.

Sharing the post on social networks, Kim Thanh wants to show her love for her father, and then hopes that today’s young people understand the hardships of their parents and always love their parents.

Kim Thanh’s parents are both teachers. Father teaches Math and mother teaches Literature. Therefore, when hearing that their daughter wanted to study communication, Kim Thanh’s parents objected. Since then, the female student is always irritable and gets angry easily when she talks to her parents. During the time of social distancing, the female student has a lot of time to spend with and talk to her parents – something she has never done before. I gradually calmed down and understood my parents better.

“People often say ‘tears flow forward, not backwards’. But after being frantic and unable to find a common voice with my parents, I now understand that all parents do is to give their children the best life.”Kim Thanh shared.

As a quiet person, few words, but when reading the lines shared by his daughter, Kim Thanh’s father could not hide his pride. “My father is an introvert and doesn’t talk much. When I read your thank you, my father proudly went to show it off to relatives and colleagues. This helps me to understand that, even though everything I do often makes my father unhappy, in my heart, my father always loves me and recognizes me as a proud daughter of him.”Kim Thanh said.

Kim Thanh’s post quickly received thousands of likes and shares from the online community. Below the article, many commenters have experienced such emotions and sympathized with Kim Thanh.

“A story that touches the heart. I also appreciate family love and always show it to my parents. Wishing you and your family good health and happiness”the LP account writes. “Reading this article makes my nose sting because my father is almost the same”, Comments LHT account.

My dad is a math teacher, and I hate math so much. I hate numbers, hate calculations that make me wrong again and again, hate even having to memorize formulas that don’t serve my daily activities. I hate the fact that my father didn’t let me use the calculator to calculate but forced me to do mental calculations during my 5 years of middle school and high school… I hate that my dad told me to study like this is “Father is a teacher, I burn books”.

But even though I hate numbers so much, I remember that 12 years is enough for my father to drive me to school and pick me up on time. I hate Math so much, but I like the way my dad finds advanced lessons at my school and then teaches me. I hate numbers but I always remember the number of times my dad ate a hot breakfast only about 100 times, but the number of times every morning me and my mother and sister 2 always got my dad to buy breakfast to feed me is enough. . I hate counting numbers so much, but I remember clearly that there was never a time when my father would close the door early but had to stay up and wait for the sisters to go to work or go out. I hate the math but I remember the times when my dad borrowed money from him for me to fill up with gas.

And most of all, even though I don’t like numbers, I remember more clearly the first time I said “Dad, I love you” was at my high school graduation ceremony. I also remember clearly the first time my dad asked me, “Do you want me to change the way I talk or something to make you more comfortable?” It’s when I rush into studying offline at school and I talk less with my parents.

The last time was this morning, when I called when I went to drink coffee “Happy birthday, do you want to have breakfast, I bought it as a birthday gift” – was the first person that made me laugh all day. now.

And the furthest time that I remember, was the amount of money that my father hung for my sisters’ academic achievements, not much, but I am always happy because I was recognized by my father even though I am not a math major like my father wanted, but I am a Literature major. . I specialize in Literature not because I’m good at literature, but because I’m good at speaking the truth. But what is sincere, is also easier to touch.

Dad is the first time to be a father, and you are also the first time to be a father. I always blame you for “why you were once a child while I was never an adult but why don’t you understand for me”, but I forgot that, you are also the first time to be a father, also the first time. The first time I had to practice big without anyone guiding me. I’m just giving you what I have, and thank you.
