How are you!
Thank you very much for supporting me and giving me the chance to continue my education. As soon as I was accepted to this school, my family became busy looking for loan money for my tuition and living expenses. My family is very poor, but they will never give up on my education. This is because we believe that only by studying and acquiring more knowledge, can we keep up with society and change our lives.
I live in a poor mountain village. There are four people in my family, three children and my father. Because I live in a village that is close to my school, I can go home and help my family with farm work every weekend and vacation. Sometimes I work on other farms to make money. For the last few years, I spent most of my salary on my education. Actually, I have always dreamed of going to a top university.
When I received the admission notice to this high school, I was very happy because I felt I was getting closer to the gate of the university. But at the same time, I was very worried because I had no money to pay for tuition. Fortunately, I received a scholarship from you!
My father was still worried about my living expenses but I told my father about the importance of education and persuaded him to support me. At last, he let me to go to high school.
I’m always open and happy, so I have made many new friends at this new school. They are very kind to me, so my life here is pretty happy. The only thing I would like to change now is that I have never left this county since I was born. But it doesn’t matter. I believe I will go to university one day and be able to leave this county. My dream is to become a leader who can lead all of the people in my village to study and allow them to leave the mountain as well. I believe that day will come.
Thank you and best wishes,
