Dear Givology,
Hello!
I am very happy to receive your letter, and your warm-hearted greetings. Every time I receive your letters, I am always very happy. You are always encouraging me, showing me your faith in me! You frequently say: if someone works hard, even if they fail, they are still a winner. Because I have worked hard, I will always remember your words.
I am very lucky to have received your financial aid, and it is you who allowed me to attend high school without having to worry about financial obstructions in life. You have given me your faith, I will work hard to fight my obstacles.
I am currently attending Sichuan Province, Dechang County’s “Zhíyè G?ojí Zh?ngxué” (Vocational Middle School). My life here is pretty decent. In the past year, I diligently studied, and I obtained a spot as one of the top three students of the school. I will persevere. In school, all the teachers are nice to me. Classmates help each other, and everyone gets along well. Even though sometimes there are conflicts between classmates, they will never hold grudges. At times, everyone will talk and laugh together. At certain times, the school will host some Literature and Art activities, which are very entertaining. Many students are excited to participate. Some dance, and some sing. However, I don’t know how to do either. I can only encourage and support the others below the stage. I am the only student who has received your financial support at this school. Even though there are students and teachers here, I still cannot forget the students, teachers, brothers, sisters, aunties and uncles who had participated in the Peach Foundation summer camp with me. As of now, I still have not yet received any letters from the uncles, aunties, and sisters, but I won't forget them. I called my aunts and older brothers, and it's good to know they still care a lot about me.
At home, in addition to my two parents, I also have a younger brother who is in seventh grade. My mother stays at home because she is always sick. My father is the one who carries all the burdens of life. I study abroad and I can only go home during vacations so I cannot alleviate any of my father’s burdens. I really hope to be able to carry more of my family’s responsibilities, but vacations are short. The only way to make my parents happy is to study hard in school and get good grades so I do not add to the burdens they already carry. I believe this is also their greatest wish.
I wish you success in your work and I hope that everything is going smoothly.
Sincerely,
Kelin Tang
