About

Class Rank: 2/301 My dream is to be an engineer someday because my uncle is an engineer , I admire him! I will study extra hard in three subjects: Physics, Math and Chemistry. My moment I felt especially proud is when I scored the 2nd best out of three hundred and one students in my terminal exam. My happiest moment in my life is when I get to live with my uncle and aunt after my parents died. I did not have to live in an orphanage. My most difficult experience is when I failed in my standard seven mock exams. Thanks God it was only a mock test! I learnt to always study and I thank God because now I am the 2nd best student. After my dream come true I plan to give back to the School Fund by helping other students who live a hard life. I will also take part in social activities to help those poor children in my community.

Hi School Fund Students

Sorry it took me a while to write to you. For those of you who is receiving my journal the first time, let me introduce myself.

My name is Indy. I am currently living at the same town as Ms Judy. She and I went to high school together. I am so happy to have this opportunity to get to know you.

I used to work with computers for many many years. Do you like to use computers?

Yesterday I met with some of my old school friends for lunch. These are the friends I have for almost 50 years. We talked about our school days when we were 12 years old.
It brought many happy memories.

Do you enjoy your school? Now is the time to form good friendship with your classmates? What do you do with your classmates? Do you study together? Do you talk and share secrets? I know you have a lot of study to do. Hopefully you can find some time to do some fun stuff with your friends.

Please write back to let me know what interests you.

Until next time,
your friend,
Indy
