"Thank you so much for the Chromebook. My worker dropped it off last week and I already completed the application to college. I was accepted and will begin classes in September. My plan is to study graphic design. The Chromebook will allow me to do all my school work. I’m also using it to try to find another job where I live. Thank you. "
