Dear Patricia B, Diane H, Laura K, Clarmond D and Linda D,

Hello everyone! You are all my family even though we haven’t met. It’s my hope that last year ended well and 2014 had a good starting for you all.

First, my words of thank you fly your way. I fully appreciate your financial assistance and words of motivation.

Patricia, our school year starts in January of every year. In High School, education gets deeper. Sciences, Mathematics, History, Geography and languages subjects advances in every class ahead.

Diane, I’m from a family of eight; Father, Mother, three Brothers and three sisters. My hobbies are running, volleyball and physical education.

My dream of becoming a nurse in future encourages me to work even harder in School. I promise to put efforts to achieve my goal.

I arrived home on midterm break for one week and will be reporting back on Sunday, 9th Feb, 2014. I was given bus fare and now ready to travel back to School.

That is my picture with my younger sister in front of my mothers hut.

Wishing you all the best.

Much love,
Rebecca.
