I have made great progress this year, especially in languages. I have started writing short stories, and my teachers say I have a talent for it! My goal of becoming a teacher is stronger than ever. I am grateful for your kindness, which has given me the chance to keep learning and growing.
Greetings! My name is Mercy Barasa, and I am a Grade 9 student. Your assistance has provided me with the opportunity to grow both academically and personally. I enjoy learning new things every day and hope to inspire others by becoming a teacher one day. I want to give back to my community by helping young students pursue their dreams, just as you have helped me pursue mine. Thank you for your continued support!
