MERCY: S604-GBE

Mercy was promoted to the ninth grade this year, and she is very proud of herself for reaching this milestone. She shared that eighth grade was especially difficult, making this promotion even more meaningful. Her perseverance and determination carried her through a challenging year, and she is grateful for the opportunity to continue her education. This year, Mercy said her favorite subject is geography, a class she enjoys and finds engaging. Her living situation and daily responsibilities remain the same. Each day, she continues to help her family by fetching water, assisting with household chores, and supporting her mother, all while staying committed to her schoolwork. Despite the heavy demands at home, Mercy remains focused on her future and continues to hold onto her dream of becoming a seamstress one day. Her strength, discipline, and positive attitude are inspiring, and she is deeply thankful for the support that makes her education possible.

Mercy was promoted to the 8th grade this year, a testament to her resilience and commitment to her education. Despite her desire to participate in school activities, her responsibilities at home leave her little time. Each morning before school, Mercy fetches about 10 gallons of water from the nearby water wall for her family. After school, she heads to the local market to buy food, fetches more water, cooks, cleans the house, and sweeps the surroundings before settling down at night to do her homework. She continues to live with her mother and remains determined to become a seamstress one day. Mercy’s dedication to balancing her responsibilities and education is truly inspiring.
