About Virginia is a young girl raised by a single mother. Her father left when she was in seventh grade, leaving her, her mother, and her three siblings. Her mother has been the sole provider for their needs which has been difficult on her as she has no permanent employment. She has been involved in casual jobs, but the income has not been enough to cover the payment of Virginia’s school fees. Virginia is determined to put more effort into her studies so she can provide a stable upbringing for her siblings in future. She hopes to find a sponsor to support her through this journey, as she aspires to become a doctor.
