MY FAMILY:

There are four members in my family: my parents, my younger brother and me. We are currently living in a small house together with my uncle’s family. Life is quite difficult for us because my parents’ income is not unstable. Years of hard labor have caused my father frequent pain in his arms and legs, so he cannot work regularly as a bricklayer. My mother earns only a small income by selling vegetables on the street. Although my parents work very hard and do their best, earnings are just enough to cover our daily living expenses. With two children still in school, especially since I am now attending university, they cannot afford to pay for our tuition fees.

MY STUDY:

I am currently a first-year university student who truly enjoys learning English, as it enables me to communicate with people from different countries. My dream is to become a hotel receptionist because this job gives me the opportunity to meet people from around the world and learn about their diverse cultures. However, I often worry that my studies might be interrupted due to my family’s difficult financial situation. I sincerely hope to receive your support so that I can continue this challenging journey and achieve my dream. Thank you!
