Cairo
I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Cairo 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 $150, which is more than we have. I love robotics and want to become a teacher. 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. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $150 goes: • Laptop: $90 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $10 • School uniform and shoes: $50 I hope life is good to you.
