About

Coming from a family of eight siblings, Clive's journey through education is a constant struggle since both of his parents have no permanent reliable jobs. Through casual jobs, maintaining all the children in school and providing for the family is a challenge. On several occasions, Clive has been sent home for school fees and he has to help his parents in doing menial jobs before he can save enough to be accepted back in school. Clive is a brilliant student and having uninterrupted school terms will definitely have an impact on his performance and have him stay on course of landing his dream career: being a doctor.

Hi Danica,
I hope you are well and fine. I am happy that you are very much concerned about my studies. Thank you. About my favorite subjects, well, I enjoy Kiswahili lessons and harbor some passion for Biology and Mathematics. I do well in all of these subjects. My hobbies are playing football (soccer) and watching action movies. Hope we share at least one of these interests. What are your favorite movies and sports?
I hope to hear from you soon. Enjoy your festive season.
