Vietnamese school guard high-fives students<\/h2>\n
\n

For those of us who grew up attending public schools in Vietnam, our school guards, often fatherly and middle-aged, were an indispensable part of our school nostalgia<\/strong>. Sure, they might be the ones chastising us with a stern face when we were naughty, but they were also the ones who helped us fix our bicycles whenever there was a problem, or offering us a glass of tr\u00e0 \u0111\u00e1 <\/em>on hot summer days when our parents were late to pick us up.<\/p>\n

We might be all grown up now, but the endearing term b\u00e1c b\u1ea3o v\u1ec7<\/em><\/strong> will always evoke a sense of fondness within each of us. This one particular b\u00e1c b\u1ea3o v\u1ec7<\/em>, however, will no doubt be remembered by generations of students and parents alike as he stands at the school\u2019s gates each morning with a smile to greet every student with high-fives and fist-bumps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
