My family applied for an ACE scholarship for me to be able to study at the school that I consider a very special place. It is special because it is where I learn the most and where I enjoy learning. It is a place where I can dream and have that feeling that I am going to be successful in my life, successful because of what I am learning right now. In the past, my mom tried to put me in a Catholic school, but she could not afford the tuition for very long. Now I am on my second year in the same school because of these scholarships that she has got for my sisters and me. I will be very happy if I can stay at my school and have the same good school as long as possible.
