My name is Jayza Hkin. I am from Konglangpu area. I have an older brother. He quit school when he failed the tenth standard. My parents always tell me to try harder. So I travelled many days to get to this village. I have so much hope that I will pass the big exams this year. I want to become a school teacher to teach t he young generation.

Note: the “big exams” are the national final examinations for high school graduation.  Students are tested for two weeks, over 10 subject areas.  They must pass each of the 10 tests in order to graduate.  It is a very difficult challenge, especially in remote areas of Myanmar, such as the Konglangpu area in Kachin state.
