Imagine being 7 years old and walking 2 hours down a mountain
to school each morning.
And walking back to your home, up the mountain path at the end of the day.
Imagine your one room home shared with your Mom and Dad and brother.
And a dirt floor, no electricity. And no running water. Ever.
Imagine "playing school" as you dream of teaching village children.
Imagine your Mom and Dad working from sunrise to sunset to buy your school books.
And your Dad hasn't seen a doctor even though he is sick.
What little money they have, goes to pay school fees.
Imagine doing your homework by candlelight for 7 years.
Imagine dreaming of becoming a doctor.
You are now an 8th grader. Studying hard so you can get into high school.
Hours and hours by the fire pit in the floor or by candlelight.
Imagine taking Chemistry and Math and Physics tests...and more!
Now. Imagine you pass all the tests.
Imagine that you pass these tests with really, really high grades.
Imagine that you learn that you can get into the best high school in your area.
Then. Imagine that your family can't afford to pay the high school fees.
Imagine needing to drop out of school, never to return.
Imagine your dreams wash away with your tears, with your parents' tears.
