About

I am the first born of five children. What I am proud of in my life is that I passed the Standard Seven examinations and was selected to join Form 1 at my secondary school. When I was in Standard 2, I was sick and ranked last in my class. After my parents took me to the hospital for treatment, I went back home to continue my school. I made a big effort and by Standard 4, I was #1. I have maintained this number ever since. The poverty of my family is my greatest difficulty. It is hard to feel good at school when I sometimes lack food and books and have only one pair of old clothes. I would like to be a doctor one day to help people with sickness. To make this come true, I will study hard.
