When we received the admission letter, we were very excited. Our eagerness to learn was finally proved. However, when we saw that our parents were happy but worried about our tuition, we felt at a loss. At this time, Aunt Pun from Care Action Macao gave me a helping hand, sweeping away the shadows in my family and me with the sunshine of great love, giving me the courage to overcome difficulties and strengthening my confidence in study and life.
My mother is the only one to take care of the whole family. My father works outside all year round. As a migrant worker at the bottom of society, he takes a meager salary to subsidize the family. At the critical moment when I was hesitant, Aunt Pun brought the dawn and hope to our side, which relieved our worries about learning and touched our hearts eager to learn. I struggled to hold on to the unyielding faith, in the heart of a voice in the cry: must be worthy of Aunt Pun's support.
At school, I am diligent and thrifty, this student's responsibility to study well, and extracurricular time to go to the library, with the help of a large number of school learning resources, to improve their professional course knowledge, due to their own upgraded poor foundation, had to force themselves to move forward, learn a lot of knowledge, so that the end of the first-semester study good performance. However, I remembered the spirit of joy, kindness, deeds, and love in Macao, so I never gave up. In the face of difficulties, I could grit my teeth and tell myself that I should never bow my head. Diligence is easy, laziness is hard. The road of life is like climbing a hill, step by step. It makes me feel the love and warmth beyond family affection and makes me full of interest and enthusiasm for learning.
For those of us in need, it was a relief for my parents not to worry about finding tuition. Make my life more colorful than before. Great love not only solves economic difficulties but also enables me to learn a lot of knowledge and gain strength. I will carry forward the spirit of good deeds of Macao, be a person with a sense of responsibility, and repay society in the future. I will continue to surpass myself, with industrious hands to create a perfect tomorrow.
Although my life is unfortunate, but I am extremely lucky, because great love always accompany and encourage me. Financial constraints often make us feel helpless. Looking at his father's apologetic eyes and his mother's back, looking forward to the future of society, will never forget the love of poverty. After I finish my studies, I must follow Aunt Pan's example and give back to society. Just like the Olympic flame, the flame of love is passed on, so that the spring of love is everywhere in the world.
