About Us

On this “first public appearance” occasion on my website, I would like to extend a warm greeting to all of you – those who have, are, and will be joining me on this journey of sharing my life, studies, and sports training.

I’m Diệp Quốc Minh Đăng, often called Panda, and my English name is Daniel. Although I’m not particularly good at speaking or writing, I’m learning how to share my personal development journey on this website!

As an energetic teenager, besides going to school and seeking knowledge, I have a significant companion – tennis. Tennis is not only my greatest passion but also an essential part of my study and training life. In addition to my academic stories, I will frequently share about tennis in my upcoming posts.

There are many things on my mind that I haven’t shared with anyone yet, and perhaps you are the first to read and experience the thoughts and inspirations of a “young person in the process of growing up” at the age of 13.

I hope my writings will have a positive impact on your lives. Thank you for visiting my “little corner”!

Daniel Diep – Minh Dang

Coming from a family with a tradition in sports, particularly tennis, Minh Dang’s parents have always aimed to guide and teach him about self-responsibility, rigorous training, and how to demonstrate resilience and manage personal emotions from a very young age.

His parents saw tennis as a way to embody these values. They hoped Minh Dang would practice seriously, treating it as a specialty while ensuring he completed his academic program at VstarSchool. Notably, tennis is also part of the curriculum at high schools in the U.S., where Minh Dang will start studying from grade 9.

Since then, Coach Tam Hao has been a constant companion to Minh Dang throughout the past 8 years of training and competing, sharing in both joys and frustrations and providing motivation.

As the youngest of three brothers, Minh Dang is very affectionate and looks forward to studying in the U.S. to be closer to his two older brothers (who have been in the U.S. for some time) and to gain more independence in various aspects: using phones, technology, and having more freedom with his daily routines.

Minh Dang is also very well-behaved and loves his extended family, including his grandmother and relatives. Therefore, he will feel quite sad when the time comes for him to go to the U.S. for his studies.
