Dear Donors:
Greetings to all of you!
Thank you very much for the attention of the state, the school and the donors to us poor students and for giving us practical help. We can't express our gratitude in person, but we can only express our deep gratitude to the school and all the people who care about us and help us poor students.
SCHOOL-RELATED EXPENSES ARE TOO HIGH
Society is developing. For a poor family, educating a student is not easy. Besides, my family doesn't only have one student to provide for, but I also have a younger brother in junior high school. The distance from home to school is quite far for me, traveling back and forth costs 90 yuan. So sometimes I stay at school overnight.
MANY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE CHRONIC ILLNESSES
When my parents were young, I didn't have a lot of pressure. But now my parents are slowly getting older. In the blink of an eye, they are more than half way to a 100 years old. Their bodies are not good. My father has bronchitis. He takes medication all year round. My older brother and younger brother also suffer from bronchitis. When I was a child, my brother fell ill, and we had to spend the family's savings on his treatment. My parents often say that their bodies hurt, but they refuse to go to the hospital for checkups because they are afraid of spending money. In a year, they cannot afford to buy one pair of shoes. All their clothing was given to them by relatives who did not want them anymore. This makes my heart ache deeply.
YOU PROVE THAT YOU CARE
Under such circumstances, the state and the school allowed me to have better study conditions, in part, by providing me a CWEF scholarship. Thanks to the state and the school for not forgetting us poor students. In the school, the teachers prove that they care for us students by their actions. Thanks to your help I have the heart to work hard to get ahead.
I will try my best to finish my current studies and be ready for my future studies. Thank you to the country, the school, the leaders and all the donors.
