Hello John,

Your words are like music to our ears. I really like your beautiful analogy about the symphony. One day, truly, we will be reading a famous book written by you with all your wisdom in it.

Best,

there are times that,you might feel aimless and cannot see the places where you belong.but u will find out that there is a purpose,an it has been there within you all along.it is like a symphony,just keep listen and pretty soon you will start to figure out your part.everyone plays a piece of their melodies and its glorious.
and you will know how to let it ring out as you discover who you are.and those around you will start to wake up,to the sounds that are in their hearts.

it is wat we are going to be that the world fears.i own the what i feel i can because i believe i can do it.
there is nothing important than to know that you are in somebody's mind.it makes you feel honoured and loved.
when the sun dies and the stars fade from view,i will always have a real and true love for you.through distance and cold depths of space the radio will sing my song that it is a love real and true.
what we have no one can take.what we are no one can be.because we own the system.dont mind about how or since when.give it time,time reveals.

John, I like this quote from a famous sports coach, Jim Valvano:

"If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

Thinking of you a lot.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.
