Shinjuku
I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Shinjuku Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $850, which is more than we have. I love biology and want to become a marine biologist. 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 $850 goes: • Laptop: $460 • School uniform and shoes: $95 • Textbooks and workbooks: $220 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $75 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      Thinking of you and your family. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
