Due to a busy schedule, the singer asked her father to present the gift to Hoang Dieu Secondary School, providing the school with an additional teaching aid. My Tam wanted to express gratitude to the place that nurtured her earliest dreams and contributed to her current success in singing. More than 30 years have passed since the singer graduated, but My Tam says she always remembers her former school and is grateful to her teachers.

Hoang Dieu Secondary School is where My Tam studied from 1992 to 1995. She won several music awards at the school and in city-wide competitions in Da Nang. After completing her studies there, My Tam won the Gold Medal at the Da Nang City Spring Singing Contest at the age of 15. Thanks to this achievement, she was offered direct admission to the Military University of Culture and Arts in Hanoi, but she did not attend.

In 1997, My Tam decided to move to Ho Chi Minh City to pursue a singing career and enrolled at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music. After years of training, she graduated at the top of her class in vocal music.
