I come from a poor village. My family has no income besides a couple acres of sterile farmland. The output of our fields couldn’t even support our basic daily expenses. Because we couldn’t afford the tuition fee, I dropped out of school for one year when I was in elementary school. In order to continue my education, I did some labor, and my father borrowed a little money from his relatives and neighbors. My elementary school was three hours away from my home, and the bus ride took two hours. I had little money for other expenses like food. I usually skipped meals at school and stayed hungry. Day by day, I went hungry until I graduated from elementary school. Eventually, I got accepted by the County Middle School. Holding the admission letter, I was so happy, but only for a while.

My name is Liz Morlas. I am 15 years old and I live with my parents, 3 older sisters and my younger brother. I spend practically all of my day in high school so when I am not there I like to spend time with my family and friends outside of the Institute. What I like most about the Institute is the professors. They work as hard as they can to give us a good challenging education. We learn quickly and easily there because of our quality Instructors. I like coming to the Institute a lot because I know that every day I go there I am going to learn something new. Being in the Institute is one of the best things that have ever happened in my life because this provides opportunities of a lifetime for me and my family. I learn something every day that will help me succeed in life. When I am older I would like to be a psychologist to help support my family and my community and to complete my grand dream of being a successful professional. After some years I would like to build my own clinic....
