Dear friend of Sky's the Limit,
We are proud to announce that Brittiany was the 2000th recipient of an STL laptop on April 9th, 2010.
Below, Brittiany describes how not having a computer was impacting her
life and school work:
Kim Thomas (Arts Department Head), Brittiany, Rema Tavares (Operations
Manager, Sky's the Limit)
"My name is Brittiany, and I am an honour roll student attending
Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario! I am currently in my last year of
high school and intend on graduating with double honour.
However,
my educational journey has been a trying one, as I am currently without
a computer. I have struggled on numerous occasions trying to find
different ways to access a computer, just so I wouldn't lose any marks
because my work wasn't typed. I have also not been able to keep up with
many class assignments, and have been at a disadvantage when I am
assigned a task, as these tasks all require a computer.
I
have now also come to the realization that university is not going to
be any easier than high school and in fact, having a computer is a
definite must for all students. I cannot imagine not having access to a
computer for my future endeavors as an athlete, mediator, singer, poet,
and so much more. As our world becomes more and more dependent on
technology, it is evident that eventually I would have been left behind
whilst attempting to hand write my work.
STL has given me a tool
that has played a large role in being the first in my family to attend
university and make my family proud. My heart is filled with gratitude."
