This term hasn't been very easy for me. Among other things, I had to change schools. But day by day I realise that it is a great thing to learn and experience new things. I see that I'm making progress bit by bit towards realising my dreams and goals.
It's not easy for me to be sociable, but in my new school I'm managing this better and this makes me feel very good. I know that I can be more sociable.
I am very happy that you are supporting me. Thank you.
I think this year is going to be quite hard, as I'm now in the last three years at high school. I want to try hard and achieve good results. Thank you to everyone who is helping me. I will try to do my best.

    Emmaculate Mueni

    Kenya

    Emmaculate is the last born in a family of three; one sister and one brother. Her parents rely on subsistence farming for livelihood, which has been greatly affected by the changing climate. While in primary school, Emmaculate spent most of the time at home while the other students were at school. This was because of lack of finances to cater for some of the requirements at school. This did not stop her but instead propelled her towards achieving her dream of becoming a cardiologist in order to save lives. Her role model is Barack Obama and she likes his phrase of ‘Yes we can’. Moreover, she likes reading story books during her free time.
