Recently I observed this trend on both instagram and thread, so I want to recap a bit about my 2024:
Managed to pull through and finish my master’s degree with the GPA I had been aiming for.
Wrote my first macro and policy report for the Government of Vietnam, making a dream I had in my sophomore year come true.
Joined BCG as a researcher and learned so much about Vietnam and Southeast Asia in just a few months—honestly, it has been more than I could have hoped for.
Wrapped up my first Computer Vision paper, and it is now on its way to the 2025 ICCV. Many leading institutions such as CMU and MBZUAI finally recognize its potential and offer us the resources to improve it and explore new ideas.
Most importantly, I have been fortunate to meet and be supported by so many amazing people. Thanks for turning my 2024 from a total mess into something truly meaningful.
