YOR: S119-SOP

Yor faced some significant challenges this past year. Unfortunately, she was unable to pass the second grade primarily due to the excessive responsibilities she had at home, which made it difficult for her to attend school regularly. On top of that, she experienced complications from  (FGM) that further affected her ability to attend classes consistently. These struggles took a toll on her, but despite all of this, Yor has shown incredible resilience. Now, feeling much better, Yor is back in school and determined to succeed. She told us that writing is her favorite subject, and despite her quiet and shy nature, she is a dedicated student who works hard to improve. Her teachers have also acknowledged her hardworking attitude, noting that she always does her best, even when she’s faced with personal challenges. We’re incredibly proud of Yor for her perseverance and courage. It’s inspiring to see her back on her feet and committed to her education. We’re confident that with her determination, she will continue to make progress and achieve great things in the years to come. Sponsored by: Dennis & Claudia Naidl

She had a great school year and was one of the classroom cleaner. She would arrive early and stay late to clean up the class. She still wants to be a doctor when she grows up and continues to live with her great-grandmother. Sponsored by: Dennis & Claudia Naidl
