My name is Renqing Bamao and I am 15 years old. My family lives in the village near Dongba Township in Nangchen County. There are 5 children in our family and I am the 2nd oldest. All the children in our family are going to school because our parents want us to seek higher education. I have been studying in a school in the township, and after graduating from middle school I came to Cixing School to study Tibetan medicine. I hope to be a doctor in the future because it would bring a stable source of income, and I can also help more people in need. Yartsa gunbu herb does not grow in my hometown, so my mom and dad have been seeking other sources of income. My dad is a construction worker and my mom is working as a cook at the elementary school in our township.
