Class Rank: 10/88 The most difficult experience I had early in life is when I got sent back home from school because my parents were unable to pay my school fees. I learn that attending school is a privilege, I treasure it and always put my best effort into study. My happiest moment in life it is when I passed my exam. My dream is to grow up to be a dentist. After my dream comes true, I will help those children who lost their parent(s) and street children to study. I will also help those young people who can't support their basic needs. I thank the School Fund for helping me reaching my dream. I will donate to the School Fund to continue support other students.
