Sticking Together as One Family

"Together with my 7 other siblings, all of us live with our grandmother in a small old house behind me here.  My father used to gamble a lot and borrowed lots of money from a bank.  The bank came to take our house and land one day

because my parents could not repay them.  My parents ran away some years ago and gave us all to our grandmother to look after.  None of us have seen them since...  I am 15 years old and studying in grade 8 at school.  I love my school and want to study hard to learn more things!  I am not sure how long my grandmother can keep me in school as we don't have much money and I have to look after my younger siblings.  My dream is to become a teacher, so that I can look after other children too."
