About

William lives in a household of seven people: his mother and father, two elder sisters, aged 21 and 16, a younger brother, aged 8, his 75-year old grandmother and William himself, who is 13. His father has a job which pays the minimum wage. His mother sometimes earns money by preparing and selling food at a local school, and the eldest sister has recently also found occasional work. William is a bright and keen student and enjoys going to school. His favorite subject is science and at the moment his ambition is to continue studying and to become a doctor. When he’s not studying, William likes to play the guitar. He attends the guitar classes that the Condor Trust runs every Saturday, thanks to a donation from the charity Keys of Change.

This year was a challenge for me because it was my last at secondary school and I had to work hard to graduate. It was difficult becuase I had to learn a lot of things and as we are still studying virtually it was very difficult to understand some subjects. My main achievement was getting the best grade I've ever had and I feel very proud of it! Thank you.
Over the last few months I've learnt a lot of things, especially about how to use technology. My studies are going well, but I've found this way of studying virtually a bit difficult. My family situation is also problematic at times, because my parents don't have steady work. We are fine though, and continue to be healthy. Thank you.
