My name is D
and I am in grade 12, my final year of high school. When I was only 8 years old
my parents divorced and I had to live with my grandmother and my mentally ill
uncle. My grandmother passed away a few years ago, so I don’t want to lose my
uncle. I hope he will live a long time with me, so I can have the chance to support
him and look after him. I’ve always hoped that I could grow up quickly, so that
I could find a job and support myself and help my family.
When I
graduated from secondary school, I felt confused because I wanted to work but
was not brave enough to drop out of school at that young age. Thanks to the
advice of my sponsor and CEF, instead I am doing my best to complete high
school with the best results possible. This academic year is my last year at
high school and I know that my decision about not applying to university may
make my sponsor, CEF staff and Ms. Linda disappointed, but the four years of
university is too long for me to wait to be able to earn. I want to be a
waitress. CEF has told me about a famous hospitality training center in my home
town and the course is free for poor students, so I decided to apply to do this
professional course, and then be able to work locally.
