I didn’t start going to high school till I was 17 years old.I first started going to Fort Boise in 9th grade. Now I’m in 12th grade. I made it this far when all seemed lost to me. This bike will help me make it to evening school on the days that I need to go. I need a winter jacket, for the winter, because I don’t have one. My dad can’t afford to buy me one. My mom don’t work because she is on disability. My mom has problems wrong with her, she had breast cancer, and now she has something else wrong with her, that could be life threatening.
