About

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.

Hello Sharon,
Thank you too for the interesting note that you wrote. I have really enjoyed reading it and I am also happy to learn from you.
Our school holds a career day every year. During the career day, different professions usually group themselves in different areas where each student goes to the career that she wants to learn about. My hopes are to explore at least four or more than four different careers for the four years that I`ll be schooling. During the last year`s career day, I went to the Medicine field and learned a lot about it.
This year, I went to the field of law. I really enjoyed it. We had several lawyers who made the moment of interaction with them be full of fun.
I have been reading school books since the studies at school have been really keeping me busy, but I am looking forward to borrow a novel from the Kenya connect library so that I can keep myself busy with it when I am free.
It seems you really like farming. At our place, what is at the farm is peas. They are a type of legumes which are green when wet and brown when dry. I really like them when wet because they are very sweet. As for now, they are nearly becoming dry but I think they won`t dry up before the holiday is over.
It`s nice to learn that you like stories. I also like them because they keep me entertained and make me learn a lot of new things.
Have a nice summer and take care too.
Goodbye!!
Sharon

Hello Emmaculate:

Thank you for your lovely note. It's sounds like you had a busy term! At career day, was there a career that excited you? Have you been reading any books?

It's been very hot and humid in Maryland where I live. We are hoping for rain soon for our gardens and for farms in the area. Yesterday I went to a farm and picked two big boxes of peaches. They are a stone fruit that are sweet like mangoes. This weekend I will "can" them which means I'll cook them a little and put them in jars so I can have them in the winter when there are no peaches (attached is a pic of the peaches.)

I have been watching some of the summer Olympics. It's just amazing to see the athletes perform. I'm so impressed by their determination and dedication.

I love to read and right now I'm reading a book about a young girl in England who likes to create plays. She lives along the coast and had found a washed up whale. Once the whale decomposed, she used the bones for a back drop of her stage. It's quite interesting and transports me to a whole new place. When I'm reading I form all these images in my head like I'm there in the book.

Keep working hard in school and read as many books as you can during the school break!

Take care!
Sharon
