Hi, I'm Sara. I'm 12 years old and I live in a small village in Nigeria. I really want to go to school, but my parents can't afford it. They work hard every day, but they don't make enough money. We don't have enough money for food, clothes, or books. I'm really sad that I can't go to school, but I'm not giving up hope. I know that one day I'll find a way to go to school and learn. I want to learn about the world and how to help others. I think education is the key to a better future. I often dream about going to school. I dream about sitting in a classroom with other children and learning new things. I dream about raising my hand to answer questions and helping my classmates. I dream about one day being able to read and write fluently. I know that my dreams can come true if I never give up. I'm determined to find a way to go to school and get an education. I know that it will be hard, but I'm not afraid. I'm going to keep working hard and never give up hope. I hope that one day I can help other children who are in the same situation as me. I want to help them get an education and make their dreams come true.
