Overview
My name is Richard and I am 20 years old. I am currently enrolled in high school and I am experiencing issues with completing my online school assignments as a result to the COVID-19 pandemic. I was supposed to graduate in March of 2020, however at this time my graduation has been delayed because I am unable to finish my assignments online, as unfortunately I don't own a computer this time.
Owning a laptop will give me the ability to engage in Groups and FaceTime calls with my teachers and complete my assignments in a timely manner. My goal is to graduate & finally be able to focus on life such as learning a trade like construction work or chasing my dream of becoming a lawyer in the future.
Owning a laptop will allow me to complete my classwork, provide me access to other resources such as online OSHA 30 training, & help me to attain my goal of finishing high school and securing employment .
Meeting this need will allow me to prosper in life as I will become a High school graduate and will be able to move on to trade or law school which will help me to develop the necessary skills I need to grow and prosper throughout life. I will be able to obtain secured employment and meet my life goals.
Need funded!
