About

Class Rank: 7/302 The most difficult experience I had in my life was when my mother failed to pay my school fees. I felt embarrassed to be called out in front of the class and sent home. Through that I learn that attending school is a privilege, I should study hard. I don't want my children to face the same poverty issue. The happiest moment of my life was when my mother and friends came to celebrate my 10 years old birthday party. Mother believes 10 years is a big remark in life. There was a moment when I felt especially proud of myself was when I was ranked at the 1st position in class seven. I dream to be a Cardiologist. I will get there through studying hard subjects like Biology. After I become a Cardiologist, I will treat those poor people who have heart problem. I plan to give back to the School Fund to help those students who are unable to pay their school fees.

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
Hi Jonathan,
Well i am glad and so happy to receive a journal from you,
I am also glad to know your favorite wisdom sayings
And on my side i like the following sayings.

01.There are three solution to every problem;
accept it, change it, leave it . if you can't accept it, change it, if you cant change it, leave it.

02.It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.

03.when in your life the only tool is hammer all your problems start to look like nails.

04. if you fell down yesterday stand up today

05.Count your age by friends. not years,count your life with smiles not tears.

06.There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
" Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.


THANK YOU BROTHER JONATHAN.
