GD 146 ~ Zhi Mei

Dear Grace,

How are you? Thank you very much for sponsoring me and giving me a scholarship. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you.

When I knew that I was accepted to this school, I was very happy. It meant that I didn’t waste my effort and that I was successful. I felt that I earned face for my parents too.

But, when I saw the tuition fee, I was disappointed because my family is poor. Would I be able to continue my education? I cried. But then, my father said the family would try their best to help me. With the support of my parents and you, I am back in school and I will study even harder.

When I was little, I envied those students who could go to university. So I hoped that I could go to university one day, my favorite university. I will be successful and create my own world. When I learned that I received your scholarship, I could hardly believe it. When I heard the news, I was very excited and for two days I couldn’t think of anything else. I knew that I finally had the chance to make my dreams come true.

There are six people in my family. My parents work for other people and my family is not rich. We can only feed ourselves. Now, I am in high school and my parents have more pressure. They have to work for a very long time every day and I can’t help them. Sometimes I feel guilty so I swear to study hard and repay them and you with my outstanding achievements.

Thank you for helping me change my life!
Best wishes,

Zhi Mei
