MY FAMILY:

I was born into an incomplete family, lacking the love and presence of a father. My parents divorced when I was very young, and since then, I have lived with my mother. A few years later, she remarried and gave birth to my younger brother. Unfortunately, that marriage also ended in divorce. My stepfather has since started a new family, cut off all contact with us, and provides no financial support. As a result, my mother has had to raise both my younger brother and me on her own while we are still in school. She earns a living by selling lottery tickets on the street. Recently, her income has become unstable and lower, as she often falls ill due to chronic sinusitis and uterine fibroids. On days when my mother is too sick or when I do not have too much schoolwork, I go out to sell lottery tickets in her place to earn a little money to help cover our daily meals. My mother alone cannot manage all of our household expenses, the rent for our small room, and the school fees for both my brother and me.

MY STUDY:

I am in grade 10 this year. I really enjoy studying Geography and Chemistry. In the future, I dream of becoming a tour guide so that I can explore many interesting destinations. However, with my current circumstances, I am very afraid that I may not be able to follow my studies to the end and achieve my dream. I sincerely long for a helping hand to support me, not only financially, but also to give me hope and strength to keep moving forward. Please help me!
