Skylar earned a place in the first year of senior school at the Ottawa Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,000, which is more than they have. Skylar loves biology 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 $1,000 goes: • Laptop: $670 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50 • School uniform and shoes: $280 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Amber
