Hello. My name is Hao Tongxin. I live in a small village. I'm in Grade 7 and I love going to school!
My school is a “hope” school. Last year, I wanted to give up my studies. I wanted to stay home and help my family. But my teacher said, “With a good education, you can make a difference. You can make a good life for yourself. Then you can help your family, friends and other people, too.” She gave me hope.
