a person who has made a difference

Nguyen Van An that is not a special name but he is a special person. He lives in Binh Chanh district, Viet Nam. He is 14 years old. He has carried his friend on his back for three years. His friend’s name is Nguyen Duc Tuan. Tuan is a disabled person so he can not go on foot like everyone else. An is Tuan’s classmate. He carries friend on his back every day. That is difficult for many people but he can do it. Because the village where they live is very poor, it does not have a lot public traffic. He has to walk about three miles to go to the school with his friend on his back so he must get up early to pick his friend up. He wants to help his friend to get knowledge. Furthermore, he also helps his friend to study at home. Sometimes, he goes to his house and explains something difficult that his friend doesn’t know yet. Everyone admires his kind heart because there are many classmates, but no one does that. Only he does it. To sum up, he has made many changes in his community.
