MY FAMILY:

There are six people in my family: my mother, four siblings and me. My father left long ago and hasn’t contacted us since. My mother has had to raise five children alone, working hard as both mother and father. She sells fruit at a small market, waking up before dawn and working late at night. Years of hard labor have taken a toll on her health, and she now suffers from a herniated disc from lifting heavy loads. My eldest brother recently finished high school and may join the army soon. My three other siblings are also of school age. Despite my mother’s tireless efforts, life is still very hard. I truly hope to receive some support to ease her burden.

MY STUDY:

I really enjoy going to school. My favorite subject is history because it helps me learn about heroes, understand my country’s roots and appreciate its cultural values. In my free time, I like listening to music and helping my mother with housework. I sincerely hope to receive a helping hand so that I can continue my education. Please help me!
