I earned a place in Form 4 at the Santos Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $400, which is more than we have. I love biology and want to become a pilot. 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 $400 goes: • Laptop: $210 • School uniform and shoes: $70 • Textbooks and workbooks: $65 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Carolina
