Kennedy earned a place in the first year of senior school at the Brampton Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $950, which is more than they have. Kennedy loves chemistry and wants to become a marine biologist. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $950 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $110 • Textbooks and workbooks: $270 • Laptop: $570 Thanks for reading all this.
