• Update: Academic and Financial Changes!

  Monday, November 28, 2016 at 07:54:21 AM by ShiMing Zhao

  Hi everyone! Most recently, my family has begun harvesting tobacco, which is tiring, but we had needed the funding. We can rebuild our house now, too, because we've received aid from the government. I've also switched from an athletics track to a vocational track; this way, I hope to be able to provide for my family.
  Thanks again for all of your support!

• An Introduction

  Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 04:15:08 AM by ShiMing Zhao

  Hello! I am Zhao Shi Ming, a normal student living in a poor village in a rural community.
  I began my education when I was eight. In the fourth grade, I got keratitis, or the inflammation of the cornea, which caused my eyes to be swollen red. For me, my father rushed everywhere to look for a cure; I would often see him come home with a worried glance towards me. Finally, he heard of a doctor who had experience with keratitis. After four months of treatment, I was finally better.
  When I went back to school, I had to repeat the fourth grade. However, there were still misfortunes to come. When I was fourteen, I shattered my wrist in PE class. My parents rushed over to the hospital, where I was then in surgery. When my father faced the bill, I knew that he was struggling with his emotions as he forced a smile, and he felt suffocated by the price of the operation.
  Now, I am in the eight grade, but I still remember what my father told me: "Since life is full of harshness, we must accept and adapt to it, in order to best overcome it". Indeed, with a closed door there will be an open window, only the path through which may be even more winding and tortuous.
  Now I face another challenge: entrance exams, which will determine which high school I can attend. However, I believe that with the loving support of my family and friends, I will be able to overcome.
