December 15,2014 Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up， I had people telling me I was too slow， though， with an IQ of 150+ at 17， I'm anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time， I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However， when something did interest me， I could become absorbed.In high school， I became curious about the computer,and built my first website.Moreover， I completed the senior course of Computer Basics， plus five relevant pre-college courses.

While I was exploring my curiosity， my disease got worse.I wanted to go to college after high school， but couldn't. So， I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then， I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently， I'm learning your Probability course.I have hundreds of printer paper， covered in self-written notes from your video.This has given me a purpose.
Last year， I spent all my time looking for a job where， without dealing with the public， I could work alone， but still have a team to talk to.Luckily， I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession， without going to college， and be just as good as， if not better than， my competitors.
Thank you.You've given me hope that I can follow my heart.For the first time， I feel good about myself because I'm doing something， not because someone told me I was doing good.I feel whole.
This is why you're saving my life. Yours, Tanis

I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in Australia， I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay, I suddenly had the

feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore. For my 10th birthday， my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colors， caves and layers of corals.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected，I was shocked.Australian marine（海洋的） life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it's important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action.I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity， which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
Together， Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy，who grew up sailing， admiring the beauty of the ocean， and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
