San Jose
I earned a place in Year 11 at San Jose International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $450, which is more than we have. I love robotics 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 $450 goes: • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $115 • Textbooks and workbooks: $210 • School uniform and shoes: $125 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
