My sister is a junior in college, my brother is entering high school, and I am preparing for the high school entrance exam. My parents would borrow money from everywhere behind our backs to put us through school because they are afraid to burden us and our studies. From 2017, when I graduated from primary school and started 3 years of middle school, I have put in extra effort to repay my parents' sacrifice.
