My name is lah Hset, From Burma, Karen State. At present I’m studying in grade 12. If I finish grade 12, I would like to continuie to study and I want to become a qulity student in the future. Especially, I want to improve my English skill and computer skill. That is why, I know that they are very important in our community They are used internationaly. I think, I we can speak English; and know more about computer, we can continuie to study after seconday school.
I decided that if I become a educaded people, I will try to share my educations and abilities which I have to the people who can not read and write. Like Burma, many people who live on the mountain and country side they didn’t know how to send their children to school. So, most of them can not read and write.
Especially, my village is located on the mountain, Burma. We only have primery school. Many student left out school when they finished grade 4. They can’t continue to study. That school was built by villager they didn’t get any suportsor to government. So they have to try it by themselves every year. Ther are also no qulity teacher to teach the student.
So, I want to continuie to study after grade 12 and I want to fulfill my dream. If I reach my goal, I will try to improve the people who live in the village’s lives.
