Model essay on poor students' application

Hello! I am a technical major in xxx and xxx classes. Due to family financial difficulties, I hereby apply for poverty allowance.

I come from a poor village in xx. My parents know that only by studying can I get out of the countryside, so they don't try to let my sister and I go to school together. But who knows how hard and tired my parents are behind me, especially in rural areas where traffic is not very convenient? My mother can't read or understand anything, so she can only go out to work to earn some money for eating. My father is a carpenter, working for others by coolies, and his income is very unstable. Sometimes you will meet a contractor who is in arrears with wages. In high school, my father fell off the scaffold while working outside, and spent more than 8 thousand on surgery in the hospital. For this reason, my family owes a lot of foreign debts.

In the summer vacation of high school, I worked as a summer job with others to reduce the burden on my family. I learned a lot while working outside. I don't think poverty is a bad thing. Poverty can temper our will better. Poor college students apply. I am a poor student. My experience made me realize that poverty can not bring us any obstacles. Our biggest obstacle is inside. Only by overcoming one's poverty mentality can one do better. As the old saying goes, "If you are poor, you will never be poor" and "If you are poor, you will change your mind". I don't think I will be knocked down by poverty. And will work harder.

Change our present situation, because only in this way can we get rid of poverty, otherwise we will remain poor. Poverty is not our stumbling block, on the contrary, it is our motivation. I will work harder! ! Therefore, I hope I can get subsidies from the college to reduce the financial pressure on my parents.
