I earned a place in Form 4 at San Francisco 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 $950, which is more than we have.
I love coding and want to become a nurse. 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 $950 goes:
• School uniform and shoes: $150
• Textbooks and workbooks: $280
• Laptop: $520

Stay strong. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Fort Worth.
thanks for sharing this, Carmela. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.

Wishing you peace, Carmela. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Thinking of San Francisco
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
wishing you peace. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Please keep us posted.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 16 people at work. All the best.

Take care, Carmela. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal
