How are you doing? Thank you for giving me a scholarship. I know education can change my life and make my dreams come true. Thank you!
Let me introduce myself. I am Yao and I am in my first year of high school. There are four people in my family, my mother, sister, brother and I. My father was gone already because of illness. Because of my father’s illness, my family owed almost 100,000 RMB ($14,648) in debt. Now, all three of the children in my family are in school. When I received the admission notice to this high school, I was very excited. I was also very sad because we couldn’t afford such an expensive tuition. Only my mother works on the farm now and we are leading a hard life.
Now, with your help, my dream of getting an education has come true. From now on, I will study even harder and pay you back with my actions and my heart.
Education can change one’s fate and dreams can motivate people to work hard. My goal is to become a teacher and use my language to motivate my students.
Best wishes,
Yao
