My name is Daiyu, I'm 17 years old, I live in China .My dad left me when I was little, I was about 8 years old then. I then lived with my mom and brother, our mom had to work hard to send me and my brother to school, but mom didn't show it to me, my brother's name was Chao, my brother didn't want to learn too much, always wanted to play, I was the best student in our school. So the teachers helped me a lot to learn. But I'm not very pretty, I'm a little fat. One day, Bao Sai, the teacher in charge of our class, called me
"Daiyu you are the best student in our school but our school does not have the facilities you need to learn. That is why I chose a good college for you."
Even though the teacher said so, I knew my mother did not have the money to spend on a big college so I did
"Teach I also want to study well but where do we get so much money" "I know that, Daiyu That's why I found a good way to do it. You know, Dulwich College in Shanghai has organized an exam for poor school children and they get a scholarship to get the highest marks. I hope you can do this if you study hard, it's in two weeks, let me know tomorrow if you like. "
When I heard the news, I was overjoyed to shout, and I said goodbye to my teacher and hurried home, eager to let my mother know about this, because I knew she would like it too.When I went home my mother had come home,
"Mom, I'm here, Mom, where are you?" I have good news for you. " "Say what, so what's so good news?" "Today I spoke to Bao Sai Teacher and she told me that there is an exam for poor students at Dulwich College in Shanghai and that the student who gets the highest marks will get a scholarship." "What? At Dulwich College, it's so great that my daughter will be able to study very well if she's going to that college so that one day when I'm gone I do not have to worry about you and your brother, daughter." "What this mother is saying is that if I study well, not only me and my brother but my mother can live well."
Then my mother hugged me and started crying. Tears welled up in my eyes and I was unaware.The next morning I went to school and told my teacher that I wanted to take the exam, and the teacher happily prepared and mailed me the documents I needed to enter. Two days after I mailed them, the teacher gave me the admission I needed to take the exam.Then, one more week before the exam, I stopped going to school and started studying from home. I had to study very hard both day and night. That's how the week went. The day of my exam dawned. I was very excited and ready to go to write the exam. I said goodbye to my mother and left. The examination was held at the Dulwich College auditorium. There were a lot of kids like me who took the exam. That's why I was so scared.But I was determined to do my best. It was a little late in the afternoon when I got home after the exam and my best friend" Fen" had come to my house when I went to bed. As soon as I got home, Mom, my brother, and Fenn surrounded me and started asking questions. But I do "I did my best. I can not say anything until the results are released" I went to my room because I was really scared too. When I went to school I heard that the results would come in another two weeks. Those two weeks went by as usual .Then the day came when the results were announced. I went to school in the morning very impatient. When I went to school everyone started clapping for me but I could not figure out why. Then the teacher of Bao Sai told me that I had won a scholarship. I could not bear the joy and I hugged my teacher and started crying, but I did not cry because of the sadness but for the happiness I had.
When I got home my mom had prepared a lot of my favorite dishes. Because the younger brother had already given the news to the mother. My mother greeted me and my brother gave me some kandy as a gift. Fen gave me two books. That was the happiest day of my life after my dad died. Those days passed and the day I went to school dawned. I got up in the morning and got ready to go to the new college. I had no new clothes so I pulled on Fen's clothes. My mother went with me to drop me off at college.
Since then a new page in my life has turned. Expect the second chapter from then on. 😊😊
