Dear Givology,
Hello! First of all, I am truly grateful that you are willing to share our sorrow, pain and joy.
It’s been half a year. Everything is fine at school. Due to some financial problems, however, Peach Foundation can’t sponsor my sister before high school. My mother goes to see a doctor in Chengdu and works there in the mean time. If I got any problems, I can just call her. I live in the dorm and seldom go home. In fact, there’s no one there. My sister stays at my uncle’s place on weekends. As to school work, I think it’s much easier than that of last semester, but I still have some problems in English that I will have to work harder to improve.
I love to play Ping Pong, but I hardly get the chance to play these days. I guess it doesn’t matter any more because I have tons of schoolwork to do. Now my biggest hope is that my mother will get well soon and we’ll once again be a happy family living together. However, I am doing well at school and my sister and I can both afford to go to school. My mother is getting better and we care for each other. I am grateful for what we already have, but I want to make our life better. I’ll work harder and build a better future with my hands.
Yours,
Chao Xu
