Dear Auntie and Uncle:
Study hard and work towards your goal!
Greetings! As I am about to enter university life, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your care and generosity over the years. Your support has not only solved my financial difficulties, but has also given me an immense sense of warmth and love, which I am deeply honoured to receive.
I promise to study hard and find a good job to relieve my family's pressure and help others. I will walk a good path, plan for the future, set clear goals and lay a solid foundation for my career.
As a child from the countryside, I know the importance of learning, so I will study hard and plan to go to graduate school in the future. I know that without a degree and knowledge, it is difficult to gain a foothold in society.
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring. Thank you for your selfless dedication. I will cherish this hard-earned help, study hard, improve their ability and moral cultivation.
Once again, I sincerely thank you and wish you a smooth work, good health, happy life.
Salute! Sincerely

Dear Uncle and Auntie Wong:
Hold on to the boat of life and walk forward with hope
Hello! When I was a young boy, my family was poor, and your generous assistance injected a ray of light into my life, giving me hope in the darkness. Your assistance enabled me to grab hold of the boat of life, persevere in the storm, and believe that learning can make me better. From then on, I began to have my own dream, hoping to go to university and give back to the community what I had learnt, to help those poor children who were in the same situation as me.
Now I finally got into university! In the future, I will use my knowledge and efforts to repay the society. At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to you again, please witness my efforts, I will never let you down.
Thank you for the years of subsidies, care for me, this beautiful memory still haunting the mind. Though time passes by in a hurry, this kindness will be remembered in my heart. I will carry your hopes and wishes to continue to move forward.
I wish you all the best in your work and happiness.
Salute!

Dear Aunt Su,
Seize the moment and work hard
Hello! Once again, I am grateful for your support, which makes me feel warm and cared for even though we are thousands of miles apart. From Uncle Xia in the past to you today, you are all people I should be thankful for. Your presence makes me feel lucky.
The college entrance exam is approaching, and I am still not meeting the standard. My heart is filled with fear and anxiety when I think about the consequences of not being able to enter a top university. The pressure is suffocating. Earlier, Uncle Xia sent me a WeChat message to encourage me. It was like a light in the fog, and I gained a lot from it. He advised me to seize the moment, work hard, and change the current situation. Fear will not prevent things from happening, so I need to learn to face it. In addition, the recent "High School Senior Companion" program introduced me to Brother Chao, who shared his experience with me as a senior. His background is similar to mine, but with hard work, he has already entered a good university. He is not only a good role model for me, but also gives me strength to keep moving forward.
I will continue to work hard and will also join the "High School Senior Companion" program in the
future to help people like me.

Dear Aunt Yang,
Hello! Time has flown by, and it has been six or seven years since I first received your financial aid. Since then, I have felt that my pursuit of education is not only for my own brighter future, but also to live up to the expectations of my family and those who have helped me.
When I was young, I often heard people in the village say, "Wow, this kid will be a college student of our village in the future." At that time, I didn't understand what being a "college student" really meant.
The ladder you have helped me build towards college is the result of my own efforts and the kindness of others. Today, I received my acceptance letter to college. I am so grateful for your financial assistance over the past six years, which helped me to achieve my dream of attending college.
Thank you so much for everything!
Gratitude and kindness can give a person a pure soul. I feel that there are countless words in my heart,
but the two words "thank you" is the most powerful. Thank you, Aunt Yang!
