She often helps me learn English after class. Reading Hello. My name is Hao Tongxin. I live in a small village. I’m in Grade 7. And I like my 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. And you can help your family, friends, and other people, too.” She gave me hope. My teacher is great. She often visits her students and their families. She does not want anyone to drop out of school. She always helps us in every possible way. She is making a big difference in our lives. Now, I never miss a day of school. I want to make a difference in the future — just like my teacher.
