Kou faced an incredibly difficult year after the loss of her mother, which caused her to miss a significant amount of school and ultimately resulted in her failing the second grade. Her teacher has always spoken highly of her, describing Kou as a very good and serious student, one who was always focused on her lessons before the tragedy struck. After her mother’s passing, it became too overwhelming for Kou to continue attending school, and she struggled to keep up with her studies. Despite this, Kou has shown incredible resilience. Her favorite subject is math, and she has promised herself that this year, she will focus on her lessons, put in the effort to pass, and try to move forward in life, despite the challenges she faces. We are incredibly proud of Kou’s determination to push through and continue her education, even in the toughest of times. With her strength and commitment, we know she will continue to grow and succeed. Sponsored by: Pat Rucks
