"Thank you so much for the laptop. I just got my high school diploma and I’m going to start a trade school now to study HVAC. The computer will definitely help me with my studies. I’m also looking for a job and now I can use the laptop to update my resume and find a job online. The laptop will also allow me to keep in contact with my sister and family in New York who I don’t get to see too often. Thank you so much. "
