I earned a place in Grade 9 at Sydney Technical College, 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 $700, which is more than we have. I love coding and want to become an architect. 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 $700 goes: • Laptop: $460 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $105 • School uniform and shoes: $135 Thank you for reading my story.
