I go to school at Highway Academy’s high school. I study English, Kiswahili, chemistry, biology, agriculture, physics, geography, and mathematics. In the future I would like to be a doctor.
Hi Charity! I hope school is going well for you. Keep up the hard work. I still haven't forgotten about the sign you made for me a couple years ago. It meant a lot.

Take care and God Bless.
