This system not only perpetuates inequality but also turns health into a luxury reserved for those who can afford it. Is this the progress we take pride in? What is the point of advancing research if treatments end up being an exclusive privilege for a few? It’s time to question whether we are truly building a more just world or just masking inequality with empty speeches.",

I dream of becoming a physicist one day, but my journey is hindered by financial constraints that limit my access to the resources I need to learn and grow. I have a strong desire to explore and understand the profound ideas in physics through the works of renowned scientists and authors. However, I am unable to afford the following books that I believe would greatly enhance my knowledge and perspective: 1. Cosmos 2. The Theory of Everything 3. A Brief History of Time 4. Relativity 5. In Search of Schrödinger's Cat 6. Our Mathematical Universe 7. What Is Mathematics? 8. The God Equation 9. Ripples in Spacetime 10. Gravity 11. The Invisible Universe In addition, I aspire to learn skills like editing and graphic designing, which require a laptop—another resource I currently lack. I deeply admire your work and the impact you have made in advancing science and technology. I humbly request your support in any form, whether by helping me access these resources or guiding me on how I can achieve my dreams despite my limitations. Even a response from you would mean a lot to me and inspire me to work even harder toward my goals. Bill Gates",
