Lagos
I earned a place in Form 4 at Lagos International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $110, which is more than we have. I love robotics and want to become a marine biologist. 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 $110 goes: • Laptop: $90 • Textbooks and workbooks: $15 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5 Thank you for reading my story.
