Newcastle upon Tyne
I earned a place in Year 10 at Newcastle upon Tyne Girls' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $950, which is more than we have. I love design and technology and want to become a nurse. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $950 goes: • Laptop: $670 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $85 • School uniform and shoes: $195 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
