　かつてはこうした不安に対して私は躊躇（ちゅうちょ）していましたが、エンチャイルド奨学生になって支援者の皆さんと関係を築くことで、自信と自己信頼を得ることができました。

　現在の経済的苦境、特に学費の面で、エンチャイルドは私にとって大きな助けとなっています。彼らの支援は金銭的なものを超えています。
　彼らは私の能力を心から信じ、精神的な支えを与えてくれます。その支援のおかげで、公認会計士になるという目標を追い続けることができています。

　One of the best presents I have ever gotten is being a member of the Enchild family. They have taught me how to believe in my dreams, even when they may seem impossible to achieve, despite the numerous obstacles I encounter in life. As a third-year accounting student who grew up in poverty, I frequently ask myself, "Why am I doing this?" "Can I actually accomplish it?" "Can I fulfill my dreams?" Once, these uncertainties held me back, but joining the Enchild Family and developing relationships with our sponsors gave me the confidence and self-belief I needed.

　Enchild has been a huge help to me during my present financial struggles, particularly with my school expenses. Their assistance goes beyond money. They genuinely believe in my abilities and offer me emotional support. Their support has allowed me to continue pursuing my goal of becoming a certified public accountant. It's a long and difficult road, but I'm committed to getting there. In addition to bettering my own life, I intend to use this desire to battle corporate and, eventually, governmental corruption to change our society.

　My greatest aspiration is to inspire children to believe in and follow their dreams. One of the most important things I have taken away from my time with the Enchild family is that they instilled in me the values of optimism and never questioning my own ability. I hope to be someone who inspires people, especially kids, to never give up and to believe in themselves when I finally realize my ambition. I shall always carry this inspiration that Enchild has sown in my heart.
