Givology - give to learn, learn to give

Dear Givology’s uncles and aunties,


How are you?


Today, I lifted my pen and began to write this letter to you, to send you my regards. Has work been running smoothly lately? Are your bodies healthy?


Half of the semester is about to pass by, around this time every semester, the school administers midterm examinations. Certainly, this semester will not be an exception. The examinations will be in one week. After the exams will be the school’s “winter season sports competition”. But until then, I have to study for every subject. Time is plentiful. The school frequently hosts some sports competition events and composition writing competitions. Sometimes I would participate too. After my sophomore year in high school, the atmosphere has become very tense, everyone is afraid to relax. I have become fond of my English courses. I have always hoped that I can speak English fluently, but I don’t know how to practice my English speaking skills. Our teacher encourages us to communicate in English during our daily exchanges, but I always felt awkward and unable to do so. Recently, I have not been home for a little over a month. I often call home, and talk to my parents about this and that. They always tell me “everything is good”. But contrarily, they are always worrying about me, that something will happen in school. I always think, how can I easily give up when I finally made it through the doors of high school? In the future, I will leave the big mountain and venture through every corner of the world. Moreover, with so many people supporting me, the love that I receive will not be any less than the love that others receive. When I am weak, I have my teacher and classmates care, and more so, your selfless love. You gave me the opportunities; I will never let myself lose them.


Hope you stay healthy

Hope your work runs smoothly
