"There are ­five people in my family. My father has always been sick and is not able to work. My mother is a worker at the factory and earns little money to raise us. Even though I wanted to study at university, I left school and went to work because I did not want to be another burden on my parents’ shoulders. I use all the hardship that comes to my life as an advantage to push myself a little harder each day and make the most of the opportunity I have been given by KOTO."

The campus has many good facilities, especially the library which has a great fiction area along with excellent study resources."

"I am a simple person. I believe that God gave us the gift of life but that it is totally up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well. People seem to think that embracing life should be jumping off cliffs or kissing strangers. But to me, embracing life is simple living. If you have a loan, work hard to return it. If you want to express your love to your mum, go tell her."

"Coming from a family with a tradition of doing farm work, I learned to appreciate the importance of the food we eat, as well as to develop a passion for food. I believe that food has a perpetual power that binds us to the best bit of life. I also realize that I am more fortunate than many other kids here at KOTO since many of them have lost or never knew their parents. But for me, I grew up with convenience and love."
