I earned a place in Grade 9 at Geelong Girls' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $500, which is more than we have. I love graphic design and want to become an engineer. 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 $500 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $210 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $100 • School uniform and shoes: $190 If you're reading this, thank you. - Owen

        Thinking of you and your family, Owen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
