Augusta
I earned a place in Form 4 at Augusta Science Academy, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,100, which is more than we have. I love coding 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. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $1,100 goes: • School uniform and shoes: $260 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $100 • Laptop: $740 Thank you for reading my story.

          As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
