Warm greetings to you all. My name is Farida Monira Akter, and I am thirteen years old. I fondly remember my hometown of Bhola, full of blooming meadows, green fields, and carefree open spaces—a stark contrast to my life today in a crowded and noisy shantytown shack made of sheet metal and wood. I live here with my parents and siblings, and recently I’ve had to help out a lot around the house because my mom broke her leg badly. Fortunately, she’s doing better now; she can put a little weight on it and take a few steps. My dad works as an electrician, which is a dangerous job, and his income is the only thing keeping our family afloat. Neither of my parents has an education—they can only sign their names—so I really want to achieve more. I study hard at school; I enjoy English, I like to draw, and in my free time I play badminton. My big dream is to become a banker so that I can provide my family with financial stability and a better life. I would like to thank the donors in advance.
